Bar that is.
Anyone use them?

Any thoughts? Opinions?

Currently running the Mary bar on my SS. I love the sweep of the Mary and I don't get the back pain I use to get with straight bars. Why bother looking into a new bar? Well, I'm building up a new curvey single speed and just wanted to look at all of my options. I never try new stuff so here's my chance.

Other totally decadent option...order a custom Ti handlebar from Seven Cycles. :p

Thanks,
Kathy

Oh man, I thought this was Noah's Ark* or something. Totally going to need one after all this rain we've been having. :rolleyes::p

I've found about this bar recently, and definitely thinking about getting one:

http://www.bikeman.com/CARV-MYTIBAR.html

ti - yes
wide - above average (same as jeff jones, more than mary)
price - great (for ti)
sweep - not too much, not too little (less than Mary/Jones, more than Luv/Fleegle)
stem compatibility - 25.4 with forward sweep, so no need to change my stem

Tom at The Bicycle Escape can get it for you.

Sorry, can't tell you anything first hand about the Arc. The lack of forward sweep (unlike the Mary & MyTi), means you'll probably want a longer stem.
