NITTO x Circles B136 Hanafuda Bee Bar
NITTO Randonneur Bar B136 Bee Bar engraved Hanafuda model by special order from Circles
The short reach Randonneur bar NITTO B136 Bee Bar has been specially ordered in " 470mm" and "500mm" sizes, which are not available in the regular lineup, in addition to the standard silver color, black, to better fit the modern touring style.
The B136's "anchor shoulder" rise from the center of the bar to the left and right shoulders is a milder 6° rise than the B132, and the 110mm reach, a short reach for a randonneur bar, makes it easy to move your hands from point to point, such as in the flat position, bracket, and drop, This model is a classic style, but with the best of both worlds.
The deep 130mm drop allows for a firm grip in the drop position even when encountering rough terrain, and the wider drop position helps to reduce road fatigue and allows you to ride through to the end of the course without feeling rushed.
The deep drop creates graceful curves, and the lower handlebars are set parallel to the ground, giving the entire bike a classic look. The functional design is a drop bar that blends in with modern randonneur style bikes with wide tires, while retaining the beauty of the traditional form.
