the thing with normal riser bars is you can just trim the ends; well it's pretty easy to see why that isn't possible here.

i'd try those titecs but so far i am happy with straight up normal riserbars (plus i can cut them down a little to fit between cars).
i was riding 17-18" bars on a mtb /w slicks when i lived in the queens. the width of these was my concern for city riding. now, however, living outside of atlanta i regularly do 30 mile loops on the pista and tackle some wacky hills. that's got me thinking about the leverage on the climbs. not that i'm about what looks cool - well, not always - but i'd like to see a pic of this style bars on a fix. and since my entire bike was $460 there's no way i'm dropping $225 on jones bars. no.freakin.way.
