Actually, the more I look at them, the more the ones on Baileys machine look nothing like the stock EC90.
Perhaps we're looking at a new model here?

The ones on the bike bend up at the end of the bar.
The top ones don't.

Yeah, I read those.
I assumed #1 was talking about the shoulder curve.
And I was merely elaborating on #3.
Neither specifically mentioned the bend at the end of the bar.
Sorry, man.

these ones might be a good solution for the OP in the other handlebar thread

Re: Carbon durability
If you eat it hard enough to wreck carbon, you're probably going to mess up yr prized B123AAs just the same...

admittedly, those ridiculous bars could look pretty nice if they were painted.

If the other bar thread you're referring to is mine, then no... I wouldn't degrade stuff like this to street use, and I def. don't and won't have the cash, either. Plus I'm not convinced that the flats would be all that comfy...

alarmists who tell you that carbon splinters spontaneously are full of it. arguing that a carbon bar doesn't have the same life as a steel bar is pointless. of course it doesn't, if you're looking for a bar you can ride for 20 years, you shouldn't be buying carbon anyway.

Formula 1 cars are made almost entirely out of carbron fiber now. If it can stand up to 1800kg of downforce for 2 hours and the craziest cornering forces this side of a fighter jet, i don't think the fatigue cycle of a typical bike will ever get it close to failure.
