the nitto moustache bars are a great idea. i love the way they look, i love the way they feel. what i DO NOT LIKE is the 25.4 clamp diameter. i've heard tell of a version that uses 26.0, but have yet to see a set in person. even one of our distributors touts having this version of them, but, trying to order them has proved futile, as with our last order we asked for one 25.4 and one 26.0, and just recieved two 25.4s.
there's nothing wrong with 25.4, really...it's just finding a stem that they fit into properly can be a bit difficult. it's just....one of those things that annoys me.

what about the old piece-of-pop-can shim trick? never done it personally. reliable? safe?
I was thinking about getting my hands on a flat bar this spring, but haven't found any in 26. Was also thinking about moustaches. bars, that is. I don't look good with the hair type.

with a flat bar, the soda can shim works fine (i use it to fit my 25.4 riser bars into my 26.0 pearl stem). you can't produce much torque with a flat bar.

I got my moustache bars from Cycles Gaansari along wth a nice Kalloy stem he sells just for these bars. Reach is only 45mm and the quill is a longish 250mm. The quill is steel (maybe cromo) and the stem part is alloy. Here is a pic:
By the way, On-One in the UK is offering thier own moustache bar. Gaansari stocks it. It's black in color but besides that I couln't tell any other difference.
