Nice one Gary you have outdone yourself!

Really sweet looking bars. Thinking about putting them on a 80’s Trek project. Your vids are inspirational.🤙🏽

Those are DA BOMB bars! look awesome and from what you said ride great!

I've got Some bars like that but mine aren't as wide and the way your hands sit on the handlebars feels so natural The way your hands are positioned 🙂

I just installed these on my old mountain / touring bike. It will be spring time up here soon and I'm looking forward to some laid back adventures! Looks like I will have to lengthen my back brake cable but the front is fine.

Love your videos! Keep up the good work!

I totally want to learn how to install pedals like that! 😆 When I put butterfly bars on my 1992 Crossroads, I just used the quill stem that came with the bike. I should have bought an adapter so I could use modern stems and saved myself the hassle of sliding a butterfly bar into the quill stem.

I've got the same blue LX groupset on my current bike, and was thinking about some swept back bars for it to try and fix finger numbness.

Nice job on the build. Can we get these bars in Australia?. I'm building up a lugged frame single speed and those bars are perfect to finish the job. Love your work 🇦🇺🤠👍

Those bars need to be wrapped with bartape. That gives you multiple hand positioning

They’re cool but I can’t seem to find anywhere that sells them, or the wormbar. I live in uk so that could be the problem 🤷‍♂️

Any bar end shifter action on those sweet bars?

[benvg]

These are so sick!
Do bigger bars like these make it easier or harder to ride no hands? I just ordered some Wald 872's for the trail breaker and really look forward to having a nicer ride for my dodgy arm. I might have to look into the magic bars for my other bike now.
Cheers man.

Does anyone know what to google to buy one of those headset spacer expander things he tightens here? I have a old trek and the headset always comes loose - I'd like to try one of these

Existe uma versão deste guidão para bike 29?

Tempted to get some but they're a little hefty at 900 grams....
