Bike friday NWR flat bar road handlebars

Does anybody happen to have these handebars that they'd be willing to part with?

A pair of what? Bike Friday bicycles? Bad tape jobs?

There are frequently a half dozen Bike Friday bikes for sale around Oregon.

Bike Friday is also very responsive, and will also refurb and resell trade-ins.

To TS, you can actually thread the trigger shifter on a thin diameter road style bar and have a few more hand positions.

Is this going on a Bike Friday, or something else? Are you using the Bike Friday gooseneck stem?
What type and size of clamp?

Standard MTB bar ends mounted on straight bars would work very similar to the bars above, depending on how and where you choose to mount your brakes and shifters.

There's nothing you can't do with handlebars and accessories that are on the market these days. I had drop bars with bolt on MTB extensions mounted horizontally so they were essentially wide flat bars with drops. You can also get bolt on drops for flatbars... use bolt on MTB extensions on flatbars to make pseudo bullhorns...

My NWT came wit these bars but one "horn" was broken. I just use a flat bar with ergos that has bar ends integrated.

The goal was to fit these bars in a bacchetta riser because it uses a 25.4 stem. I just wanted to bd able to emulate the hoods position and use my grip shifters, but I couldnt justify the price. I wanted to see if anyone here had it so I could buy it secondhand, but I settled on some 25.4 drop bars instead , situation resolved.
