I found these handlebars dumped on the side of the street literally across my house together with some other wrecked bits, took them home and cleaned them up and they're sooooo good! Just 580mm wide but their shape makes them feel wide and spacious (imo), with a lovely neutral wrist angle. Feeling plenty wide without actually being wide is really awesome for city use! They feel more spacious than a 660mm flat bar.
They also have a lovely amount of flex! They massively iron out chatter from cobbles or gravel which just makes them *extra" comfy. Can't recommend them enough, they're by far my favourite bars and I might buy another one to stock up on them and make sure I can always have at least one bike with these. Fkin love these things.
I'm now contemplating whether I should buy a 70s road bike and turn it into an upright randonneur with these handlebars wrapped in handlebar tape so you can comfortably put your hands next to the stem for comfortable high speed cruising.

Woah, that frame has seen stuff.
Honestly I’ve just paid £10 for handle bars and a stem from a cube hybrid. The 700mm and boy they are comfy.
I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable putting the fate of my front teeth into $20 bars. It’s one of the parts on a bike you really don’t want to fail.
