Which bars for my Tallboy?

[Newboy]

I am building up a new Tallboy carbon.

Everything has been decided except for the handlebars.

 

Any suggestions?

No suggestions, you just want to brag and make us jealous! Go think up a handlebar yourself. No, wait.....a riser bar with huge bull horn bar ends! Thats what you need!

[Newboy]

Definately risers with bar ends

[Iwan Kemp]

Go with something like THIS

 

Nice and wide and flat.

FSA K Force.

 

Lose the barends.

If I were in your enviable position, I would consider the following:

 

Do I have enough saddle to bar drop - that would influence my decision on risers or flat bars.

 

I would look @ width because its a 29'er

 

I would want to match/compliment the brand of my seatpost and stem.

 

That said, I would choose Enve.

Don't use riser bars myself but these look pretty nice and light

You could get away with a set of those rubber cane creek bar ends, they not too obtrusive. Very useful to offer different hand positions in stage races, even on a 29er!

For some time there I was under the impression you guys were only joking about the bar ends.

 

Seriously, dont be a ****. If you put bar ends on a Cruz I'll never talk to you again.

 

Bar ends on a Cruz is like putting ketchup on ice cream.
