NITTO B177HT Hanafuda Road Drop Bars

NITTO made, Masterpiece B177 Circles special order Hanafuda engraved model

The B177, a NITTO-made comfy road drop bar masterpiece, has been heat-treated to enhance its strength and durability, and the original Hanafuda (Japanese playing cards) engraving has been applied to the ferrule section of this special order model from Circles.

By changing the center clamp diameter from the classic 26.0mm to 25.4mm to increase stem options and widening the width to 460mm and 500mm, the handlebars are elevated from narrow classic bikes to ideal for gravel and track bikes.

The shape, which seems to push slightly outward from the center clamp, is structural, and while not actually "backsweep," it makes a big difference in the way your hand fits. The natural fit of the hand on the bracket and the balance with the protruding drop are exquisite, and no matter which position you grip, you will not feel uncomfortable. The "looks straight, but feels different when you hold it" sensation is something you should definitely try once.
