Greetings, fixie fanatics. Here is my latest build. Trek T1 track frameset. Bontrager select track wheelset. Surly cog. Bontrager RaceLite tyres. Bontrager track crankset. Wellgo pedals. Cane Creek SCR-5 front brake. Cane Creek iS2-i integrated headset. Bontrager "M" bars. Random stem. Dimension starry grips. Cheap Shimano lever. Cheap Kalloy seatpost. Brooks B-17 standard saddle. 44-13 ratio. 17 pounds even. My first experience riding track geometry, and I love it. Its quick, but not too twitchy. I got the frameset last month for my 19th birthday from my dad who owns the only bike shop here in Northfield, MN.

MAN I want one of those Trek T1s right about now. I know it's a Trek and thus not 'cool' but who cares?

so i KNOW that seems like the easy solution, but i thought the exact same thing as the OP, yet i find nothing of bontrager "m" bars on the bontrager site, mtbr, roadbikereview, or just google.

so where are these bars from? are they even still made? i am as curious as funkdeal and "bontrager m bar" has done nothing for me.

edit: and i would say they are less swept back than any cruiser bars i've seen

They look A LOT like those Jitensha bars that people have been posting up. Search "jitensha bars" on the forums.

By ' "M" ', I assume the fellow means that the shape resembles a slack "M" not that the model is called such. Working at a Trek dealer, I've seen just about every Bontrager product and those bars aren't one of them. They might just be really cheap bars pulled off a random Trek cruiser, but none come to mind..

Those are definitely Nitto "Jitensha" Bars. Rivendell has something like them called the Albatross I believe.

Geeze, I didn't even look at that picture...

Those are definitely NOT Jitensha's. Jitenshas are a flat bar with some sweep, angled just like that. I'd suggest them for an almost identical look, but without the drop.

The shape looks a little like On-One Mary bars, but they are black only. Here's a knock-off:

they look like flipped and reversed risers with a lot of "drop" if that makes any sense. rather than the bar tilting up after the "riser part" near the center, it tilts down. anybody know of such a bar? thanks.

I have something similiar to the albatross, adn they're nice, but they're a pain for squeezing through traffic. Incredibly wide.

I don't think they have any rise or drop. That's just an optical illusion. I'm voting Nitto Jitensha. Similar bars would be On-One Mary (with a little bit of rise) or Wald #815 touring bars (also with a little bit of rise).
