Bicycle Touring with Straight (aka MTB) Handlebars - Pedal Power Touring
I tend to agree with the link above but, use a riser "XCM" bar. Also I like the Specialized Body Geometry grips, they are a little softer,more squish than Ergon ~ but either or. I had a Scott Bull Bar on an early 90's MTB Tour bike that was nice also......forget the exact name or number of the bar.....we just called them "bull Bars" back then........because of the horns
