I want something like the on one "mungo" for my commuting bike, trouble is they are road diameter so don't fit my old hope C2 brakes.

Any other options?
VeloOrange seem to do some but a bit pricey when postage and customs charge is included from the states.

Thanks.

Is the clamping diameter for brakes actually different between road and mtb?

EDIT - yes, they are different - couldn't recall.

Freshtripe have a few styles of the Velo Orange bars. http://freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Handlebars,%20Headsets%20%26%20Stems.html
They can probably orders other bits from Velo orange, if they don't have it in stock.

As it happens, I've been on a bit of a weird bar crawl in recent weeks 😳

Soma Fabrications do a few with 22.2 dia which will take MTB levers:

The Sparrow may be an option if you flip it -

Ridiculously difficult to find in the UK though- only place I've found them is here:

A few more funky options here with 22.2 dia:

Ah... BLB is what I meant to say, not Brixton Bikes. Doh!
