In search of BMX style handlebars for 31.8 or 35mm clamp.

I have found many older threads and online articles about various products, but none under $350 and presently available.

Fairdale’s bar is very heavy. I prefer aluminum over chromoly, carbon or Ti. I’d like to stay under $200.

I could get something like a Deity Highside and find a bolt-on crossmember but that would be too thin for light mounting. Does anyone know a source for such a product available in 2022?

Not much under 350 and I’m not totally sure about availability, but these are pretty awesome.

Are shims out of the question? That's how most of them work.
Please specify how much rise you want. Most BMX bars are 8"+ tall.
I really don’t want to use shims, or a two pound chromoly bar. 2-4” would be ideal.
I don't think you are going to get away without using shims. I have the Surly Sunrise bar and the shims aren't that big of a deal.
What's wrong with using a correctly sized stem?
Here's a steel option. Lighter than the Surly Sunrise bars, made in USA, under $200. It comes with shims for 22.2-31.8 but alternately you can buy a stem that's 1 1/8 to 22.2, like the Paul Components Boxcar stem. (there's probably a cheaper option though)

Oh, and they look freakin amazing. Here's mine.

I had no idea there was a 1 1/8 to 22.2 stem. That oddmone bar looks like the front runner. Thanks all.
You may want to look at these as well.
I have a set and really like them.

Why do you need a crossbar?

I got these for my jump bike: Deity Highside 80mm, not expensive, $85, 35mm clamp. They also have some with 31.8mm clamp.
I went with a steel bar from Myth Cycles. It was around $120. He has a Ti option also. His site will tell you they're out of stock but if you contact him and place an order, you'll have within the month.

I tried to get one from Oddmone but they never got back to me. I kept bothering them and they finally did get back to me and asked me what my order number was. LOL.

The dude from Myth is a member here.
ETA the bars are 25.4 but whatever shim you need is Included. It's hard to get around that but it looks clean.

Im looking at some custom Doom bars in the near future.
Oddmone bars in the works. Thanks all.

I will also resist the urge to buy one of the Stooge klunkers. Looks like fun. The used, original, klunkers on Craigslist are never available in my size.
