big facts

Is the owner an engineer?

Or a scientist. NOAA, remember.

You’re right, that’s way more of a scientist bike than an engineer bike.

Whatever is parked next to that monstrosity looks pretty rad

cool saddle, cool bars, looks neat, but then you get to the pedals.

shit.

ah yes, the shimano pedals which require a one-off tool to rebuild. burn in hell.

Modolo Gran Fondo’s are some of my favorite shit bars of all time. But I guess all handlebars are just Nitto B123’s with different geometry.

those would probably be popular these days if they had flat ramps.

Who’s got a favorite bar for poopbarning with mtb levers, one that has two-several hand positions?

Hard to go wrong with a Jones bar. I wouldn’t put it on any old bike though.

I think On-One might be the coolest cheap stuff brand out there.

they have a Jones knockoff now? https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOGBV2/on-one-geoff-handlebar

I’m fine with that given how many alt-bar designs they popularized themselves

The Mickey might be my huckleberry. I’ve never gotten along well with as much backsweep as a Jones bar has.

I’ve gotten eerily used to them now that I’ve been riding the Jones bike several times a week. With dropper post down it feels like a big bmx.

wtf?
