Any alternatives to this? I am looking at getting this and a basket for my bike. I will also need new cables which swobo does not sell. This is for an 88-92 schwinn le tour. thanks .

Nitto and Soma both make similar bars.

(Soma carries Nitto in their on-line store as well)

That Soma "Noah's Arc" handlebar is so cool, I've been looking to build up an old bike just so I can get it.

Might not be so good for a basket, though, as there's nothing to stop it from sliding side-to-side.

The baskrt will be for the rear. The arc looks kind of uncomfortable to me.
