26.0 Gravel bars
I'm looking for a modern 26.0 silver gravel bar. 31.8 are worthy of adding to the list but I'm personally focusing on 26.0 and flared bars right now for my build. I'll update this post as you all add options.
Lots of options at Velo Orange: https://velo-orange.com/collections/handlebars
Salsa Cowbell and Cowchipper in silver (31.8): https://salsacycles.com/components/c...oad_handlebars
Nitto B132 & B135 Randonneur: https://www.treefortbikes.com/filt/1...-ratings....--
Soma Portola: https://www.somafab.com/archives/product/portola-bar
Origin8 Gary II: https://origin8.bike/product/gary-ii-bar-33961
Nitto x Crust Shaka bar: 26.0 clamp, a little flare, shallow drop, wide as hell: https://crustbikes.com/collections/h...rust-shaka-bar

The old Origin8 Gary II bar is 25.4 so you could easily shim it to fit a 26.0 stem.

For a short while I had some Nitto Rando bars on an old refurbished early 80s frame- disliked those bars to no end. Nitto measured width at the drops, which are flared, so the tops were absurdly narrow. It was like I was riding 38s when I had 42s(which is also more narrow than ideal for me). Just worth mentioning if you haven't used them before.

I haven't seen any. Out of curiosity, why are you looking? Is there, in your experience, something to the claim that skinnier bars/stems are noticably more compliant?

I couldn't do a link for some reason but i bought a couple pairs of these being cheap in 420mm wider than normal for me for better control offroad. They need an opening stem as the tops bend is too sharp though I did get a SR Royal stem though them after trying many. If there going on a steel frame then yes 26mm looks more appropriate to me.
