Relaxed Ride Handlebars

I bought these as a crash replacement. I liked the original Relaxed Ride bars that came on my Bedford. So there was no reason buy another kind of bar. The original bars took a bad hit in a hard crash and I did not trust them any more.

I customized my Driggs 3 with these and couldn't be happier. I think the look is much nicer than the extreme swept-back curves on the stock handlebars (although it's just down to personal taste). It does mean that the grips are a little farther forward, but I found it easy to compensate by just raising the handlebars a little more (since the fork is angled, lifting them up also means they go back.)

Make sure you get the cables shortened to match or it will look silly.

I originally had swept back handle bars on my BBC but I didn't like how I had to ride extremely upright, and I didn't feel as though I had as much control. This year I switched to the Relaxed Ride Handlebars, and what a difference! I didn't install them myself, but it only cost me $20 to have a professional swap them out.

Need a good bike, go to the professionals, thank you
