Tiki bars??
 

So i have a 1988 trek 400. I like the drop bars but i use it more for commuting and was looking into getting more city style bars that offer multiple hand positions. I was looking into getting the origin 8 tiki bars look good and i can still use my existing road levers. I was just curious if anyone has pictures and or feed back on them.

By the way i also want the origin 8 coffee holder for the bars hoping that fits good and level.

SteelsReal - I just put the tiki's on my bike. I have not finished the build yet, so I don't have as fully informed an opinion as I would like. Pic below. Here are my opinions so far:

1. I think they look great and for my shoulder width and all, they are just the perfect width. (52cm I think...)
2. They do stretch forward more, so if you've got a short torso like me, go for a short, high rise stem. My current one is maybe just a hair to long and tad too short (110mm +10° rise).

I have the QBP equivalent: The Dimension Double-bend Urban Bar.

I know you didn't ask about it specifically, but they're both knock-offs of the Nitto Moustache. So, FWIW, I like it. I don't need to go down into the drops ever for commuting/getting groceries/etc. The Moustache bar replaces your "dropped" position with a nice, semi-upright, wide-stance grip on the ends. Then you have the curves, which feel like the equivalent to a normal "hoods" position. The actual hoods give you a nice aero tuck position when you want it.

I have an Origin 8 black Tiki moustache bar on my Schwinn Super Sport DBX. I was
able to use the Tiagra brifters that came with the drop bars with them. I really like
them. The width works well for me.

I like that style of bar alot. I am really comfortable in a number of positions on them.

They are very flexy, however. Might not be a bad idea to look into steel ones if you stand and mash.
