Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If they haven't bent or gotten dented somehow, I'd reuse them. My answer might be different for ultralight bars of high alloy aluminum or carbon fiber, but then again it might not be.

The frame and fork damage reflect a front end collision involving the wheel. There's an excellent chance the bars were never subjected to any meaningful impact.

BTW- if after reading this post you change your mind and decide to keep the bars, please don't blame me if they fail.
