What year did riser bars come out?
Who made them?

Got any names of old ones?

I seem to remember Club Roost getting in on the riser trend pretty early on with their go-fast bars.

Club roosts are the ones I rememeber too, tbh didn't pay much attention at the time, well it was just a fad wasn't it

Wasn't it flat bars that were a fad :?
I thought early MTB's had risers (well kinda the same)

Sorry to post the same as everyone else, but yeah, Club Roost. I had a blue set on my Zaskar way back in the early 90's. Just like blackwall tyres, Matt black bikes, rapidfire shifters and so on, riser bars are properly retro

I'm sure the early Stumpjumpers had Nitto risers as stock back in 81/82 - I have a Saracen from the mid-eighties that has a pair... so concur that it was straight bars that was the fad!

Yep, flatties were the fad. Klunkers had risers, my 86 Cannondale has risers too.
