|   Does anybody use straight handlebars? | nosaJSchlueter
Sep 12, 2002 12:47 PM | | My handlebars on my single speed are niether wide nor raised. I don't have any problems and prefer using the narrower, low (normal) bars to the raised airplane wings. Am I alone??? |

Sep 12, 2002 4:25 PM | | mondo,
I can't find a ti. syncros flatbar so I am going to go custom. If you don't mind how was your shopping experience with titus, what was the turn around time for the bar. And by the way how do you like the bar, is there some flex or no flex etc...
thanks

| no (not many?) handlebars are straight | Frank Tuesday
Sep 12, 2002 1:54 PM | | they all have some bend to them. I assume you meant flat bars as opposed to risers. some people ride flat, some ride risers. some people ride em wide, some cut down nice and narrow. they all ride bikes. that is all that matters.

Sep 12, 2002 2:05 PM | | Yea, you know what I meant. Flat bars are my preference for SS. Maybe because I'm light, but I'm tall. I'm 6'2" and a whopping high-school-cross-country-team weight of 148lbs. |
