The handle bars are Nitto model 019 that I purchased from John Dacey at Business Cycles in Miami. I think they were about $46. They come in 40-42-and 44 width, and have a 2-1/2" drop. The only thing that I did to alter them is that I cut off about an inch of the upward curve from the stock curve that the bars come width. I think that the stock curve is too upturned at the end as they were meant to accept reverse brake levers. They are 26mm clamp diameter so check your handlebar stem clamp diameter before you order as you may need a new stem to use them. It took some getting used to to get comfortable with them as I only used drop bars on other bikes but they allow you to really off load the weight from the rear of the bike when you resistance brake. They allow a much more aero position also without the hunched over position of drop bars. I don't think I will be giving up the drop bars but they are an interesting change of pace. Great for riding in city traffic with the attendant panic maneuvers that involves.
