I wasn't actually able to use this on my bike, but this handlebar is a really neat shape. Very simple & sleek with a little bit of style.

The problem is that these cannot accomodate the long brake levers found on older schwinns, nor can they accomodate a gripshift + brake setup. The straight part where your hands would go is too short for these setups.

I still give it 4 stars cause they are really nice and I am going to have to find to make these work on one of my other bikes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good inexpensive bars, but..., July 27, 2010

This review is from: Wald 867 Low-Rise Cruiser Bike Handlebar (20-Inches Wide, Chrome, 4-Inch Rise) (Sports)

I like the classic shape of these bars and the 4 inch rise means you won't have to extend your stem so high to have a good upright riding position. But it appears they are designed to go best with single speed and/or coaster brake bikes. The grip section is too short to fit a hand grip plus brake lever plus bar-mounted shifters (grip shift or thumb shift). I'm disappointed about this, and my project city bike will have to use either a stem shifter or maybe end shifters. The Kalloy Tourist bar is another comparably-priced bar that may be better for my setup (but doesn't have the rise).

A friend of mine in San Francisco turned me on to these when he replaced the drop bars on his vintage 80's Bianchi with these bars. Even though they have a an upright position on them, the sleek straight front bar and backward handlebars give them a fast look that makes them perfectly at home on a roadie. With vintage roadie bikes where the shifters are on the downtube the inability to put gear shifters on them doesn't cause any problem. The other thing I like about them is if you use a Wald Front basket the straight front end doesn't interfere with putting anything, (like say a dog!) in the basket. As opposed to mustache bars.

The other thing I've done is tilt them down a little (so the back of the handgrip is pointing downward a little rather than parallel with the ground). This way when you lean into them the angles matching my wrist position.
