Is there a (ideally also inexpensive) gravel drop bar with a 25.4 mm or 26.0 mm clamp diameter? No, right? I’ll probably have to go up to 31.8 mm? (Please only European shops if there are specific buying tips.) For this mock-up I’ve used a 1970s steel kids’ road bar – I wanted to bend it a bit, but I’m too weak. So, as an alternative: tips for good energy food, but cool handlebar suggestions would be better…

Check Nitto bars, Bike Comonents has some of them with these diameters, and for quite affordable prices: https://www.bike-components.de/en/s/?filterPriceDE=22-113&filterAvailability%5B0%5D=in%20stock&keywords=Nitto%20handlebars
Nitto has various models, but I only remember the RM-3 which come in 25.4mm and 31.8mm clamp
BRN, Italian brand
Also: these bars are all right though, too narrow for you?
[Rune Hilt](https://www.runebicycles.com/shop/p/hilt-bar) looks nice, if you’re into wider bars.
So basically, I’m actually looking for a handlebar that’s a bit more gravel-oriented – don’t be misled by the bar in the mock-up photo. The bar should be **wider**, have **more flare**, and ideally a bit **less drop than the one shown.** I only used that bar because it was the only drop bar I had with a smaller clamp diameter…
On One had midge with 25.4mm and 31.8mm clamp both.
SOMA fab has some 26.0 options
This is some Cunningham looking ugly-beauty
