Missed a set on eBay the other week. Either width would be fine.

Loops?
Could save yourself a fortune and get the Al versions.. I have both and can't tell a jot of difference fwiw. Bought the Ti loops just to finish off the bike. The old Ti H-bar non-loops feel quite different though, much softer.

Either, ideally both! Ti is 99.5% for looks :lol:

I'll probably end up getting a set of Al loops for one of the bikes I'm building but figured I'd ask as a set of the original, shimmed loops and a skinny 25.4mm stem would look nicer. Similarly I'd be curious to try the original cut version one of two road+/650b mid/low trail touring bike type things. My quest to turn "nice" bicycles into bling hybrids continues...

Same here :)
Did he make a shimmed loop bar? Didn't see those.
I had the original Ti Hbars on a 650B gravel bike for a while, was a good combo. Some Al cut loops also. They felt a bit narrow overall though as the grip section ends are shorter.
I like the old Hbar design as a road/utility/ hybrid bar as you can grab or hook the ends like bar ends, I miss that in the loops.
