Sorry if this exists already, but couldnt find it.

Im looking for unique handlebars to inspire me. Ive always thought handlebars make or break the bike yet there really arent many options. Just variations on the same concept eg, tall apehangers and really tall apehangers.

Im hoping to build one on my own and would love some inspiration!
 
I know what you mean, I'm going to have to make some bars of my own I think. deven_science made a cool set of adjustable bars, viewtopic.php?f=21&t=59106&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p572981 and his Build-off bike has some cool bars also. Soma Fabrications has a Lauterwasser bar that's pretty cool,a really old drop bar.

Here are some cool early handle bars. They are kelly and sager bars. Used around the turn of the century on racing bikes.

I have a pair of those in my basement. I can check tomorrow to see if there are any markings on them. I think they are awesome, just not sure what to put them on just yet
 
Just two days before the end of BO6, I came across a car steering wheel at a yard sale and then some chandelier parts.
I went and made a steering column from galvanized pipe and then finished it off with the chandelier parts and beer cans for my BEER RUN build.

Exercize bikes. Always have the most obscure handlebars. More often than not, ones from the 60's or 70's will work on a bike

A set like the ones posted earlier but a different angle. Also some drop bars I flipped.
