Not quite a M-Bar but the Nitto Randonneer drop bar is a 25.4 MTB diameter.
It is a drop bar with a very shallow drop and flaring ends so that your
wrist can rest agains the ramp of of the bar while in the drops. They also
come back towards you on top like the Noodle bar.
Because they are a 25.4
I use Tektro RX4.1 reverse brake levers on my (deliberately upside
down) Moustache bars on my Quickbeam. I love the setup and it works
very well. I use it mainly for commuting and having the bars upside
down raises them and makes it easier to cycle in traffic.
Here's the bars http://bit.ly/98Mh8L
My measuring would be moot, now that we know they fit.
Thanks, Damian.
Oh, and I certainly would *not* assume that a 25.4 bar works with
mountain levers. Presumably the 25.4 is mm and describes clamp
diameter; that's independent of the diameter of the main body of the
bar. For example, I believe
The 1992 B'stone catalog explains the differences between the 26.0/
X0-1bars and the 25.4/X0-2 bars:

(go to page 36 of the PDF). It looks like the XO-2 bars are simply a
swept-back upright of the same general type as the nitto albatross/

Johnny , Those bars you linked to are what Riv calls Albatross
bars 56cm. CroMoly. Ben's often leaves
The yeah, a lot of bars get called north road which was the raleigh
name for that style if i remember correctly.
The ones i used were the ones that Harris sells:

I'm with Blindrobert on this one. But most bar-end brakes need road
bar size tubing - unless the bar's been bored out.

Of course if you're running bar-end shifters then this won't work.

They explicitly claim to work with 23.8mm diameter bars.
Or, perhaps...

They sort of suggest they might work. However, I'll see if I can
measure the interior of my Moustache bars tonight to
I am not sure how I feel about the city brake levers. I am surprised
that no one makes a standard looking mountain bike brake lever for a
road bar diameter. I guess there isn't much need for something like
that. I could probably try and find an old set of bars from a
Bridgestone.

If I'm not mistaken I seem to remember Soma saying something about
producing an M-bar but for mountain bike brake levers. It would make
sense.
I've done a couple of rides on my Rambouillet with M-bars and it's
pretty nice. I did a longish ride yesterday with lots of climbling and
did get a little
I used the Soma moustache bar with a bar end brake lever - see the

You need a model that is 7/8 or 22.2 mm in diameter to fit tourist or
mtb type brake levers and shifters, not the 23.8 mm or 15/16 road bar
diameter. (Note that these diameters are different from the clamp
diameters which, historically, have been respectively 25.4 mm and 26.0
mm -- mostly.

I don't know about Nitto, but others do. I had a cheap but very usable
steel one from Nashbar a year or so ago.
