the new flat bars from On-One the Fleege:
http://www.on-one.co.uk/index.php?m...er_op=view_page&PAGE_id=68&MMN_position=72:72

any one know where I can buy these in the USA? I bought direct from On-One when I got my Mary Bars - (love 'em once I got them dialed in)
and Kind of paid through the nose for shipping across the pond.

I looked to Webcyclery but they don't have 'em listed.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Chris

P.s. anybody use the Surly Torsion bar? It look like a similar sweep...

They didnt get any in yet due to an ordering cock up.

I'll get a price for them shipped to the USA from us...

Having done the sums, we can offer them for £34 posted, from, the uk, which is about $59

Regular post - about 1 to 2 weeks (max) I think

The bar is £30 - we add shipping manually right now. Everything passes through my laptop, so don't worry - we'll sort it for anyone.

Carbon bars are a thing we're thinking about though I'm not a huge fan really.. especially for offroad use. Was that Fisher thread on this forum?

Similar to a fleegle

I was surfing around today and came up with this bar:

It seems to be pretty similar to the Fleegle bar. Anyhow, its another option.

Well, not really.
More like the Mary if anything.

One thing we did with the fleegle was make it really really wide. It's over 28in wide - though sums suggest it can be cut down as narrow as 24in and still have room for brakes and "stuff".

whats the idea behind these bars then ?

a different (more natural)riding position or better for climbing ?

or a bit of both....................................



or none of the above

Well, with every 5 deg of sweep you effectively loose 1cm of stem length. So if the bars sweep 15 degrees you loose a bunch of stem. Since the bars have forward sweep before the back sweep your hands are in the same place in space as your old bars, just at a different angle.... I think

Note about these Jitensha bars, they are designed for road (26.0) stems but mountain components.
