'Porteur' style bars found cheaply in the UK
I bought a set of bars described as 'North Road' that looked much more like porteur bars:

and here they are on my cheap 3 speed:
They're nicely finished for a cheap price (£10) and are reasonably light. Obviously not NOS or 'proper' parts, but for anyone in the UK who's looking for a cheap set of cruiser/porteur style bars for a pub bike, these certainly fit the bill

If you flip the `bars the bike would need to be a Pashley Guv`nor lookalike.
