Bullhorn Bars to go with my bike
I am tired of these handlebars on my bike (https://velospace.org/node/27795) and I was wondering what a nice SMALL bullhorn bar would be. I like the really small width of my bars for new york riding and i was wondering if it would be possible to get a bullhorn bar in that small size.
PS: My Thompson stem is oversized

most bullhorns are about that width. i'd recommend my syntace stratos, but i don't think they come in oversized.
you can always cut flat bars to whatever size you want and use bar ends, works fairly the same, unless you like riding the elbows.

fyi, it's called a stem. the headset is the set of bearings & cups that fit on a headtube.
you can also use a shim, so that any size bar can be used with Thomson stem. I've got some 26.0 bullhorns shimmed to fit in a Thomson, works fine.

On sale for ridiculously cheap. Flat aero tops are comfy. They have the narrow 40cm width left in 31.8 clamp size.

Road bike handlebars come in different widths. Buy a cheap narrow one, hacksaw off the ends, and clamp it upside down in your stem.
