This photo shows the top down version of the H-Bar with Trigger shifter and V-brake levers.
Here's a photo from the side showing the bar end of an H-bar.
This is a photo of the NWR Flat Bar Road which is a variant of the H-bar with a slight upward bend at the end of the bar. We often use a reverse brake lever common on Triathlon bikes here. These levers are road-pull so we then need to use Mini-V brake calipers to work. This photo shows a trigger shifter on the bottom end (Alan's Knuckle shifters), but we regularly mount a bar-end shifter to the end closest to the rider (right).
Here's a side-view of the NWR Flat Bar Road showing the upward bend. We also make another variant which sweeps upward much more dramatically (STI Touring bar) and allows you to mount an STI lever like Shimano Ultegra integrated levers. This bar will not allow that type.
This shows the NWR bar with the more typical bar end shifter. If the bike is a single-chainring front, the left side bar end is an excellent place for a mirror.
This is a common upgrade to a flat handlebar. This particular grip style is made by Ergon bikes and is their model GP-3 which includes a lock-on style grip (bolt on) and a bar end that is ergonomically designed for comfort. These come in two diameters, small or large and run from $32 to 60-ish cost-wise.
Standard 5-degree flat handlebar. Works fine for most casual use riding. This particular bar is mounted by the use of a Quill stem which allows adjustment up and down. We do this type of stem on the Companion and OSATA models for 2014.
This is a great comparison between the STI touring bars (left) and the NWR Flat Road bars (right). The STI bar has a much more pronounced upsweep.
This photo shows the STI Touring bar with a bar end and reverse brake levers. We commonly use Shimano or Sram integrated brake/shift levers on this type of bar as an alternative to Drop Bars.
Here's a photo of a drop bar with Shimano Tiagra integrated shift/brake lever (STI).
