Did just what I needed: extra rise and extra good lookin

I built up a basket case '89 Specialized Rockhopper Comp as a neighborhood cruiser with a stem from a Univega MTB of similar vintage and some new budget-brand BMX bars. Never felt quite right. Klunker bar to the rescue! Now I'm riding the Rockhopper almost as often as my "daily driver," a 2013 Surly Cross-Check (with VO Randonneur bars, naturally). Glad I bought the Klunker bar.

These bars are obviously stylish but I was a little worried about lack of hand positions before I purchased. However, that was largely unfounded with a combination of my upright geometry and the fact that you can grab around where that top bar contacts the handles part and I'm comfortable riding there for a mile or so before going back to my normal hand position.

I get tingly fingers easier than most so I love ergon grips - I use them on every bike. These bars won't take them - they bars curve inwards slightly right at the end of the grips, which is where ergons would normally lock onto the bar. So my klunkers are just sitting in the parts bin now.

Note also that that 45 degree backsweep is a LOT of backsweep. I'm more comfortable in that 30-35 degree range. Make sure you really want that much sweep before ordering these.

Recently put these on my all city space horse all terrain vehicle. They're very nice and eloquently embody the spirit of our Schwinn riding forefathers. Comfy, swept back, high, durable, and aggressive, these bars are perfect for hauling, climbing, jumping, cruising, without breaking your back(and while looking super cool). Highly recommend. thanks velo orange.
