I used to love Butler bars. I think I even used them on my Bennett frame.

Similar shape to Slams but smaller. About 7.75 rise and 26 wide, at a guess (it was over 10 years ago!).
I think they re-named them the Smal bars, and then bars under 8" rise stopped selling.

Man, their even smaller than I guessed. And I thought I didnt run tiny bars!
Mine were still a good 2" wider than most people in the late 90s!!!! haha


They still make them too.
S&M 7.25" Slam Bar
Width: 24.5"
Rise: 7.25"

And the Smal bar.
S&M Smal Slam Bar
Width: 26.25"
Rise: 7.5"

I dont imagine they sell many of them at the moment.

I moved up to 26.5 about a year ago and I had to cut them down a bit. Ive now worked up to 27" wide. I dont think I'll be going any wider.

Those perfect 10s are selling out everywhere. Nothing like fashion over function, eh?

10 inch rise bars, Didn't some of the GT bars from the 80's used to be about 10 inch's tall?

Yup!
What's with all the narrow bars? I'm struggling to ride my cruiser safely with 26" bars and might have to change them.

It got a bit mad in the late 90s. Everyone was cutting their bars right down. And that was when most people had to get levers on there too. For a while Gerry Galley rode with his levers UNDER the cross bar cos there wasnt room above!

Still, not as bad as "fixies" are now. They only just have room for 2 small grips and a thin racer stem.

Sounds like hard work!
Then again not everyone is as wide as me. With 28" bars my hands are exactly shoulder-width apart and comfy.

Pretty much everyone rides 28" wide now. Even skinny little kids. Big kids ride 29"or 30".
