Boy oh boy, on a hot day after finishing a beer I can't quite get my head around the question that you're asking. The "Mark's handlebar" is the same as the old Nitto Model 185 (they just essentially renamed the bar). Here's a link to a jpg from our esteemed group owner (Cyclofiend) that shows the dimensions of the Mod. 185: http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/rbw/cat/rivcat05_p04_nitto185.jpg,
I have a Mod. 185 on my Rivendell Road Standard and I like it a lot!
