Humpert Moon Cruiser Handlebars On Raleigh Dover

[donnoirf]

I am thinking of swapping the handlebars on my current bike for something a little more relaxing layed back

I recently purchased Humpert Dutch Cruiser handle bars for my none electric bike & they are fantastic & make a huge difference, However they are far too big & wide (70cm across) to accomodate the cabling on an ebike

I noticed that the raleigh dover deluxe unisex, had humpert Moon Cruiser handlebars & I just wondered if anyone coulde advise & judge for bars comfort ect for upright style riding

just wanting to get opinions and feedback before I buy


Regards

I fitted these to my bike. They're the cheapest light alloy ones that I could find:
RALEIGH ALLOY BIKE / CYCLE TOURING/COMFORT HANDLEBARS on eBay (end time 09-Apr-11 12:48:57 BST)
These look pretty good too:
Alloy Bicycle Handlebar for Raleigh Cameo - NEW on eBay (end time 15-Apr-11 17:15:29 BST)
Raleigh North Rounder Comfort Handlebars RRP £14.99 on eBay (end time 06-Apr-11 21:59:44 BST)

I've got that version of the Raleigh Dover, with the Moon Cruiser handlebars and I'm very happy with them. One of my objectives in buying the bike I did was to get one with an upright riding style (my back is a disaster area!) and it fulfills that role very well.

I will note that the stem on the Raleigh allows for a lot of adjustment in the handlebars - and it took a fair amount of fiddling until I got the position right; if your bike has similar latitude in adjustment, you should be OK.

Cool! thank you.

My bike same frame type as the Raleigh dover . It also has lots of adjustment on the stem & bars, but I just have quite got the right bars
i curretnly have these on my none ebike:

They are extremly comfortable to ride with, but far too wide to accomodate the cables on my ebike.

I take a look the the mooncruiser ones
