Thomson do a swept Ti bar, but it's flat (I have one on my pact)

I have a Seven Cycles flat Ti bar that's very comfy a reasonable sweep but not too much. I assume it'll be similar to Colin's.

Is that the one I sold you, Stu? Flat center, single bend back, about 20deg? I wish I had held onto that now :cry:

What about the Answer Pro Taper 20/20 ? I've got a pair on my fat bike and really like them, less sweep than the Jones and a slight rise

SQ Labs, 12 or 16 degree carbon in various rise. I have a 12 degree medium which is nice but too low for me (soon to be on the classifieds) but I liked the shape, its not actually all that different to a normal bar though.
Heres the 16

If you could find one, Mone Lightbar, not all that Alt though.

Whisky Millhouse, not alt except for being high

Don't know if this qualifies as "al" but I got a pair of these and quite like them on the MTB. Quite a subtle sweep but also nice and wide:

Ritchey WCS Trail 10D Rizer (spelling :roll:). They also do a Comp version that's a bit cheaper, heavier and less rise (10 compared to 20 mm IIRC).
