Redshift bars.
Swapped out my stock bars for these. Big improvement for my arthritis.

Looked hard at the Redshift bars but they weren't in stock when I was ready to purchase so I went with the Surly Truck Stop Bar. Not as much flare as the Redshift but the wife loved the Surly one so much I got one for my Schwinn Circuit build and very happy with it.
I can't tell from your pic, did you get the Cruise control widener for the tops? I'm thinking of adding the Redshift wideners on top when I re wrap the bars eventually.

This is the label that came with the bar. It is about 1.25 inch wider than my stock bar.

Thanks. I had one of those adjustable Ritchie stems on there, and she finally figured out she is more comfortable with a boring 6 degree rise 100 mm stem. We kind of go through circles of frustration, and I buy stuff like this with the hope it will help. So just hearing that someone found this helpful is really ... helpful.

I'm using the Redshift Shockstop stem, and needed a little more rise, the Burly bar did the trick.

Using a Redshift stem with my Surly bars also. Widest tire I can fit on my Circuit is 28mm so the Redshift stem is a big help on rough sealcoat.
