Hey folks, just a quick question because I cant make up my mind about this. First, I have a Yeti ASR-5 anodized color (somewhat greenish, see picture below) that I am thinking on changing the bars/stem, there is nothing wrong with the setup I currently have but want to try something new. I am running a 100mm8º Easton EA50 matched to a Specialized flatbar 680mm long. My choice of stem is somewhat already determined, it would be a Race Face Evolve stem, 70mm. I have pretty much decided I want to go 70mm. Shorter would be too much, longer is a no no.
Now, for the bars, I want flat or as close as possible and 720mm long at min. At Jenson they have the Race Face evolve, low rise 750mm long (Race Face Evolve Low Rise Handlebar OE > Components > Handlebars and Stems > Mountain Bike Handlebars | Jenson USA), in either green or blue (the green kinda matches my frame it seems) and at Price point, they have them in black at 720 flat (Race Face Evolve Flat 720mm Handlebar | Race Face). Which one would you choose? I am not known for liking anodized colors on my bike but wouldn't mind giving it a try. Please try not to make an educated guess but one more in regards to what would look nicer, because I think both would serve me well and if not, I can always go back to where I was which I actually like anyways.
