Swept back handlebars that take road levers
 

Anyone know of a swept back handlebar that takes road levers other than the nitto moustache?

A bunch of the velo-orange ones do. I think a couple Soma bars, too.

It all depends on how you mount the levers. With most upright bars (including the Nitto Moustache bars, in this photo), if you mount the road levers so that they move vertically (i.e., you squeeze them up), there won't be enough travel room. But if you mount them horizontally from the bend in the bar (i.e., so that you squeeze the levers toward your body), or at a 45-degree angle below horizontal (see photo), they should work.

The Albatross bar is actually 22.2, not 23.8.

Hey. Somebody besides me mounted their mustache bars upside down! :>

my bad. i was remembering they were different...and it's because they can take bar end shifters, not because they are wider.

that looks very awkward for the lever to not be in line with the bars

We use Origin 8 Tiki Bars.
Alloy, inexpensive, and they come in silver or black.

Anyone know the grip diameter of the Nitto Albatross bars?

Can be had for $20 with little effort.

Nashbar often puts theirs on sale cheap.

Oh yeah, $12.99 qualifies as cheap.
