yeah I was wrong, Nitto's are 26, explody pup was right, Somas are 25.4. You aren't going to find anything cheaper than that.

You sure you want a bullhorn? MTB flat bars are 25.4, and dirt cheap. Add barends and you're done. You can buy one, and keep chopping it little by little until you get the length dialed in just right.
I've had 2 'horns and then a flat bar... flat is WAY better 4 me. You can grab it a lot wider on the flats while its exterior width is not greater than a 'horn (cuz it has no bendy part). Plus I like to rest my hand on the corner, which you can't really do w/ 'horns.

Yeah, I use a cheap older drop in 25.4. I cut them with a pipe cutter which worked well. They are steel though. Another bonus is that you can mount an MTB lever for your brake.
