Stop slagging History Mans spesh with the big front wheel. Thats Frank that bike is and I will tell you how he handles because he's my steed for Mountain Mayhem when I do two back to back loops in the dark between 1am and 3am....ish........ :facepalm:

I'm borrowing a bike to make getting there and back easier. Lets face it, Franks the kind of steed I'd build so we should gel together

aye, they weren't super cheap, but were cheaper than anywhere else I could find in the UK, and he threw in the extra long ESI grips for free, so no complaints

they're forking light though, lighter than the Thomson Ti bars

Re:

Is there any advantage in use from the shape of those bars?
There would have to be for me to use them as I think they look gouping, don't contribute to the aesthetics of a bike either.

Re:

I find swept bars very good when the going is slow, they are comfy and allow you to lift the front of the bike a bit easier. Where they fall down imo is when the speed picks up, something flatter puts you in a position where you can brace against anything pushing the front wheel awry. Same for wider bars too, bigger lever keeps you straighter.

I use the Titec versions of the H bars which are basically the same without the cross section at the front. The sweep is exactly the same. Titec used to have the licence to make aluminium Jones bars while he made the carbon. Then he withdrew the licence so he could sell alu versions. Exactly the same as mine, made in the same factory and they are two pounds short of double the price.
As for the bars I love them, hence why they are on my Pugsley and my 1X1. very comfortable, good for all day riding whatever the terrain and the position is very natural.

Aye, all we need is some pics of you out on a bleak windswept beach with the kids.
Ach, no seals this time...... Another beach, another day out, another chance of seals.

It's really not that noticeable
