    Well, CBO has blue RaceFace Atlas FR 1/2 bars in stock.

    Would ano blue bars look good on Marge? they also have gold in stock... i think i can price smash both.

    you don't like the gold? hahaha i'm torn! i want them NOW! but that narrows my choices to Blue and Gold

    well, i do want to stray away from the mainstream colors (White, black :D )

    Transition HTs FTW!!!!

    Hold out for the white.

    Perfect match for your graphics.

    The rear looks almost bald.

    Otherwise, I would keep it simple with the colors. White or black handlebars are your best bet.

    805,
    I am going to go a different route and would say, for your ride, the RF in orange or purple, get the matching cranks when you can and the matching SRAM drive-tran as well.
    Between white or gold though, I would go with the white on that frame.

    There are others as well but here are a few white bars ...

    Syncros FR2014 (710mm/28") have not priced these but I would guess they are around 70$ or 80$
    [​IMG]

    Syncros FR31 (31") 80$
    [​IMG]

    Shimano Pro FRS40 although a bit shorter at 700mm/27.5" 60$
    [​IMG]

    Azonic Worldforce (30") 60$
