I've got narrow shoulders and drops are still the same width.</p> <p>That's kinda moot, since if the gap you're aiming for is so narrow that an inch of narrower bar will make a difference, then it's really time to not go through it, take primary and have a happier life. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60475 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:45:34 +0000 Nelly 60475@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Uberuce - agreed. In my current (unrequited) quest for my new ride, I considered all bar types. </p> <p>Still cant see past drops - imho they allow greater 'flickability' on the road. Position of hands on those daft wee bars seems to inhibit movement - perhaps its just me? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60468 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:34:08 +0000 The Boy 60468@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To mirror their comedy moustache? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60467 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:32:44 +0000 wee folding bike 60467@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To match their tight pants? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60455 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:15:25 +0000 The Boy 60455@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For squeezing through tight gaps in traffic, no? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60423 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:53:27 +0000 Uberuce 60423@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I really can't get my head round those narrow fixie flat bars. They look dreadful but don't even have the common decency to be functional to make up for it. The wide flat bar on my Genesis looks rubbish too, but at least it makes steering and hauling uphill nice and easy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60417 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:56:08 +0000 Darkerside 60417@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But mainly if you like singlespeeds, it seems... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5653#post-60416 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:51:07 +0000 chdot 60416@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://veloshare.com" rel="nofollow">http://veloshare.com</a> </p>
