Question:Riser bar for bianchi pista - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

yeh731 · 11th August 2008

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I want to fit a nitto riser bar on my bianchi pista and after some web searches I 've found the below 2

B-201aa
http://www.freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtri...20Risers-1.JPG (25.4mm)

B-259aa
http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?m...oducts_id=5285 (on Hubjub website they say it's 26.0mm but some site states it as 25.4mm)

So my question is which one I should go for? Without actually looking at it they both seem to be identical to me. Is there a difference?

Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

b201aa has no sweep (back towards rider) whereas b259aa has sweep backwards.
b201aa has bulge at centre of the bar, b259aa has shim bonded to the centre of the bar (cheaper to make 25.4 and 26 options)

they're both lightweight (the AA at the engine of the letter signify that), the riser the handlebar the more comfortable, so if I were you, go for the one that you can afford.

if you're going to buy the B-259aa from Ben's Cycle, might as well get the B-201aa as it probably cheaper and easier seeing it's in the UK.
