Sparrow bar mirror options

I put sparrow bars on my Terry Classic. Love them and love the bike for riding around town. I'd like a mirror. Any ideas for a mirror that would work on sparrow bars?

You can use a Mountain Mirrycle mirror with those bars. You have to play with it a bit to get the angle just right (and it kills the aesthetics), but it's a great mirror.

if you wear glasses, or feel like having it on your helmet, the take a look is nice... just got mine in the mail today and it seems way more durable than it looks. I still may wrap tape around it, but it would do fine without it.

I never have really liked the Take-a-look type mirrors. Maybe because I've lost a couple.

I do like the Mirrycle mirror and have one on another bike. I didn't think it would work on the sparrow bars but it looks like it might be fine. Thanks for the picture.

The Ultralight German Mirror that Rivendell (and other places, I'm sure) carries can be mounted in lots of different places.
