Touring Bars
Anyone have any idea where I may purchase bars like these? Only bike I've seen them on is an 80's Puch. Called Friko Touring bars. I've only found Friko Tour drops on the web. I'm assumeing they are no longer in production...........but hope I'm wrong. Anyone?

Velo Orange Porteur bars

just got a pair... very nice!
The slight curve near the stem (much less than moustache bars) gives a second hand position

I've seen 27" wide retro cruiser bars with the ends cut off that look like those. The fixie crowd likes them.

Thanks to all/Reason I asked is because it is the most natural hand position I've found so far (besides drops) The northroad are not much better than straights on my wrists. Gettin too old for drops....lol
