I junked std bars and then fitted micron ace bars for the looks being 50 this probably wasn’t the smartest move, looking for flatter bars but not straights or drag bars had too many bikes in the 89’s with them, so any recommendations?

They do come up a bit wide for me, so I fit everything on both sides and work out how much equally I can cut off each end  |

Yes they will be slightly wide on an LC
Fine on a lc2 as they were wider

I've got 758's on my orange hybrid, and I agree, they need 1" off each end to look right on an Lc I think. However, I did have some bars on the Lc I sold last year, that were slightly lower than the 758's and narrower too. They came with the bike and had no markings so I don't know what make they were, but they were perfect for the Lc. If you compare the 2 bikes in the pic, you can see the difference;  20180215_140152 by dusty miller, on Flickr I would love another set of bars like those as I think they look better that bit lower. And I love the look of flat/drag bars but they aren't practical on an Lc. I swapped my drag bars for the 758's for comfort and also cable routing and a better angle for the controls. Dusty  |

The Renthals are available in a dark grey colour which is my choice. But everyone knows really that Flat/Drag bars are the best on a modified LC   |

I polished the anodising off my drag bars - they were black originally - and they come up really nice. Would be great against black yokes and switchgear;  20170811_143114 by dusty miller, on Flickr Dusty |

Nah, the joy of diabetes 🙄 Nothing stops the tingles 🤣 Well except sitting down which makes me lose the feeling in my legs 😖 And no it wasn't a childhood of deep fried mars bars and fried battered pizza from the chippie May have been the gallons of full sugar Irn Bru mind 🤔 Steve |

That’s the problem though Alex I’m fine for the first 20 minutes then I realise I’m not getting any younger.

Hi I have fitted these rizoma fat bars to the red seat hybrid they might be worth a look  |

They look good, I assume you need to buy the associated riser clamps for them ?.

I just bought some fat bar risers not rizoma ones, just picked the ones I liked the look of.

Thanks for the idea but the bike Is very firmly built as a 1980’s retro special.
