Which hybrids have bar ends?
Hi all,
I've recently caught the biking bug and want to purchase a bike (new or second hand), I mainly commute to work with occassional recreational riding so a hybrid would seem sensible but most of them seem to have flat handlebars. I realise bar ends were a bit of a 90s trend but I find them quite comfortable.
Are there any hybrid bikes around which come with bar ends, or maybe dropped handlebars?

Bar ends are an inexpensive 5 minute add-on to most flat bar handlebars, so I wouldn't make that the deciding factor on your purchase.

My ergon gc3 grips/bar ends are to be delivered today. I can't wait to get them on and ride tomorrow.
