Christ those bars are dumb. Enjoy them if you like them, of course, but unless you’re Shaq-sized, you don’t need that shit riding on actual streets.

You can cut them down. They have markings at the bar ends to make it super easy.
I have the same bars, and I cut em down to a much more comfortable width after riding them too wide for a year lol.

any Fixed bike i have MTB bars on is running uncut 800mm! (think i have 2 running them atm) makes traffic splitting difficult, but comfy & great for climbs. im still Drops for life but when you have like 6 gotta mix it up

i have some bullmoose bars i cut down to 560 and I’m still thinking of taking another 20mm off each side.
i typically ride 380mm (rb002 and rb018) so the original 720 or whatever the bullmoose were was just ridiculous, especially downtown.

wide bars are more comfortable for climbing so if your living in a hilly area you’ll have a great time
