I also just prefer the more upright posture for urban riding.

Now my spouse would like to try upright bars on her old but nice road bike, which she no longer rides due to the same issues.

What I'd like to know is, are there any other "upright" bars that I should consider? The Origin8 seem to be of fine quality, but I don't want to overlook anything. It may be that I'm having a hard time searching because I'm using the wrong terminology.
Town style bars will probably fill your need. There are two types, one type has the grips roughly parallel with the frame, and the other type simply moves them up and back vs a flat bar. Both of these would probably work for you.















Good luck, keep us posted!
