I imagine the twist shifters are going to be too long with levers and grips.

It has priest city handlebars that are too wide for me and I would like to swap them out for something narrower. I am considering the VO Montmartre handlebar. Do you think that would work with the twist/grip shifter and standard handbrake levers?Book Wormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297889612902475643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-50533800719724201592015-03-10T23:58:17.087-04:002015-03-10T23:58:17.087-04:00piggy back balaenoptera. wish you made (i think i ...piggy back balaenoptera. wish you made (i think i understand your financial logic in making the tall stack stem 31.8 only) your tall stem was available in 26.0 or and 25.4. i am the service manager at a shop and i think such a product would be great to have (especially polished with a vertical rise).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-4786943229695480182015-03-10T22:13:46.083-04:002015-03-10T22:13:46.083-04:00I've been using a Postino bar on my old Trek 7...I've been using a Postino bar on my old Trek 720 hybrid for the last few years. It works great, and has room for my old Suntour shifters and old brake levers. :) It's a very comfortable handlebar, especially with ergo handlebar grips. Easier on my achy old hands than flat bars.Janice in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642298460152468319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-73786531698626966852015-03-10T20:53:07.761-04:002015-03-10T20:53:07.761-04:00Lots of great options, particularly for city/porte...Lots of great options, particularly for city/porteur style bikes. I don't see a 'dirt drop' type bar though!
