Bars: The Skyelander 700c comes with the super strong heat treated Nitto M106 drop bars, available in black or silver. We can also fit flat bars if preferred.

​

"The slightly flared handlebar is a good match for the bike, providing surer steering than a narrow road drop handlebar on country lanes
awash with mud" - Dan Joyce, editor of Cycle (Cycling UK)

​

Shifters: Shifting is via Microshift bar-end shifters which are highly durable and reliable. Friction controls shifting the front derailleur and a choice of indexed or friction control the rear, it takes a matter of seconds to switch from one to the other. With flats we fit the same shifter but in thumbshifter form.

​

Levers: see Skyelander Disc brakes

​

The stem: We offer both ahead and quill, silver or black

​

The ahead is a Zenith hollow forged AL6061-T6 aluminium stem

​

Our standard quill stem is the Nitto Technomic (silver)
​
Tape: We fit the Brooks microfibre black or brown bar tape to match the saddle as standard, and if you're having flat bars the Ergon GP5 for more hand positions, in the premium biokork. Brooks leather bar tape is an upgrade option.
