Bending and flaring road bars for ATB set up - Advice needed

Re: Re:

Thanks.
Mine are much newer version so presumably not worth as much. Shame!

What's your version and bar dimensions then ?

The above are early period correct I think but that's still mental money. £250 for a set of bars shipped is way ott though These are on trend now so I expect they will be mental money for a few months until the next best thing kicks in :?

Re:

The Nitto 'Dirt-Drop' RM-013 is still made and available, and remarkably similar - only available in 26.0 though, but depending on what stem you are planning on using you can make it work.

Actually, looks like the RM 014 is more akin to the original WTB version, but that is only available in 31.8.

I'll see if a source has any 25.4s, otherwise I can get the 26.0 clamp, and the Nitto MT-10 'Dirt Drop' 26.0 clamp stem in 80 or 100mm lengths.

Interesting.... a few people seem to be looking for that Nitto bar now !. I read Nitto made the original bars for WTB/Specialized. Would prefer a wide 25.4 for my original 170mm Salsa P10 stem. Dunno if 26mm will fit it, might be a bit of a squeeze and I don't want to the logos. Any help is much appreciated

What about something like Nitto's B135 "randonneur" bars? Or Origin8 "Gary" bars.

Good work.... Il have a mowzer and check their bend profiles. I need wide bars and want to keep that traditional flat bar ride capability but have more hand position options.

Re:

'Randonneur' shape could work, but tend to curve up from the stem more, have less flare at the ends and aren't available in the large widths the dirt drop was designed with.

I can't get any 25.4 clamp dirt drops btw, sorry.

Yeah, had a look at that c 1900 boy racer Randonneur option. I do need the straight bar section though, incase some Pit Bull has a crack at me and I need to take off Tomac downhill stylee.

25.4 bars...like the meaning of life...its out there but I know not where :facepalm:
