Hi, Everyone.

I am looking to replace my standard Giant alu bars from an XTC with something a bit lighter. They are 65 cm wide and risers, so I would be looking to replicate that.

What do you reckon?

Many thanks,

Dom.

I found the RF Deus bars at JeJames for £24.99 delivered, so I have ordered them. Thanks for the idea. I also found a matching stem on eBay for £22. Cool!

ATB, Dom.

Each to his own but I'd say go wider. 685+mm should be much improved.

Im very happy with some recently bought ec90 sl's. Unlike me there superlight but still seem up to the job.
