I changed a handlebar on my Ocean Air Cycle the other day. I wanted to make the riding position a little more up right. This one is my commuter bike and all my bikes have a drop handlebar, so this was the time to change the handlebar.

Blue Lug had so many handlebars. What about this? This looked like an exercise bike handlebar. I loved it, but it was too sexy for me.

This one was too gnarly for me. I don’t even know where the brakes should be. What about shifters? Please let me know the accurate setup if you know.

After much consideration, I decided to use the NITTO B352 handlebarI also changed a stem. The UI-2 120mm is a perfect match with B352 handlebar.

The B352 is capable of using bar-end shifters. The ODI grips have open-ends for bar end shifters. I love the dark red accent.

Done! I will wrap the bar tape on the center of the handlebar later though.
