commuting handlebars?

[madscot13]

I have a trek 520. this is a touring bike with dropped handles. It is pretty great for me. I ride in a city/suburban area and I appreciate the advantages of a workhorse bike with plenty of agility. I think the geometry of my bike is what makes biking in an urban area okay. My head is still pretty upright and it doesn't strain my body in any way.

I love my bike. I love my bike

Xeney, how will they configure the bullhorns with shifters and the brakes? I was thinking bullhorns but then wasn't sure what to do with shifters...

Or are you building a singlespeed or something?

Hiya

Here is a picture of the bars on my commuter as requested. Obviously using the hoods is out of the question - but the setup is oh so comfy. I did try creating bullbars by turning drops upsidedown & then cutting them, but it just didn't work (not enough straight to take the sti's and my hands). But the bullbars were cheap & now I love them.

Sorry about the mess in the background - we are having our house remodelled & I can't even find most of my bikes . . .

Yes, it's a single speed. I've seen bar end shifters on bullhorns but they look a little weird.
