Help finding handlebars
First time posting on the forum but I've browsed for a while.
I bent the handlebars on my Trek and I'm trying to find some bars similar to replace.
They do not have a shiny finish, more of a matte silver like brushed aluminum. Where do I start to look for a finish like this? They aren't completely straight, have a slight bend in them too.
Would post an image but I can't because I'm too new :/

What year and model of Trek? Are they the stock handlebars? If not, what model of bars? What clamp diameter? What style? (tack, traditional road drop, compact drop, bullhorns, pursuit bars, etc.)

Without any pics, specs, or more of a description, I would just find a local Trek dealer and bring the bars in. Newer Bontrager bars do a good job of putting their specs on their drops and I'm sure a Trek dealer could find you a replacement or at least a similar bar.

Found out I can attach files but not post links. I looked it up a while ago and knew what model and year it was...believe it is an 85. I don't think the bars are stock but the stem is.

Ok, so those just seem like run of the mill risers that are most likely going to have a clamp diameter of 26.0 or 25.4. Take those bars to ANY bike shop and they will either have something for you or order something with similar rise, sweep, etc. etc.
