Mixte Handlebar Source
Anyone know where to find (preferably new, high quality) handlebars more or less like the ones in this image:

No but if you can't find any I'll gladly take the bike off your hands :D

It is really hard to say much based on a direct side view of a perfectly flat swept bar, but I think there are a few.
Maybe the Nitto Dove, On One Mary among others... If you are open to a little rise or drop, then you open the door to many others. There is nothing "mixte" about those bars other than the fact that the picture you show has them on a mixte. |
Those look a bit like the flat Nitto bars that Jitensha sells:

Velo Orange or Jitensha.... Below is a Mixte I did that has the Jitensha bars... very clean.

Dang. Where are these hot little mixtes coming from?
|
One of the other Nitto bars ... Promenade? ... is totally flat like that, but more swept back (i.e., grips parallel or almost parallel and further back) than the bars above.

It looks like the bars on the mixte have a bit of rise The Jitensha bar is a copy of an old 3ttt bar and is completely flat. I've compared them one atop the other and the Jitensha bars are a little longer in the grip area, probably to make room for shifters. I shortened my Jitensha bars a bit.

Sweet - that's the sort of thing I'm envisioning. What is the frame size on that bike and what kind of brake levers are those?
Not sure of the exact frame size but it is a slightly larger size for a Mixte... maybe 50cm... 48cm. The brake levers are new old stock Weinmann tourist levers. They are also used on the old Schwinn Krate bikes... Readily available on ebay, etc. |
