hey guys,

im a new guy with a bianchi fixie. i ride about 25 miles a day give or take
and im lookin at a different set of handlebars.

it seems like this kind would be very comfortable


i found these two pairs on amazon,
https://www.amazon.com/Nashbar-Time-T...sbs_sg_title_1
https://www.amazon.com/Profile-Design...73619&sr=1-205

but with that curve before the bar goes forward would it be uncomfortable to have your hands on the center part?
i see why the curve is there tho, it lowers the outside part of the bar a little bit, which is nice.

and what about the sizes, is the the width of the bars? is that personal prefference?
i've got a 55cm frame, and im about 5'10" if that makes any difference


also,
if anyone else knows of any good ones around 30 dollars thatd be awesome


thanks,
Greg

Probably better off asking here. Width of bars would be similar to road bars - the width of your shoulders. Wider bars than that will give you more control, but could be more uncomfortable (because your wrist is bent outwards a bit, and your shoulders get a bit compressed).
