Recommendations for "C" handlebars?
Hey utilitarians! In my parts search for my utility build, I am having trouble finding decent looking "C" shaped bars. The problem is it's hard to search for them when the most descriptice thing about them is just a single letter of the alphabet.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for nice strong swept back "C" bars -- perhaps something I can ask my LBS to order, or possibly order myself online?
Of course as always I'd like to keep the price low :-)
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Yeah, not bad for $30 .. I was just searching around myself and found a few bars by Nitto that may also fit the bill. I wonder who makes those ones on the xtracycle page?

Probably made by Pyramid. They make them in chrome plate and alloy. the chrome is cheaper but heavier.
