WTB: Billie Bars

[brizbarn]

Looking for Billie Bars if anyone wants to sell. I ride a 60 Appaloosa with Sim Works Little Nick bars now. Interested in swept back bars in order to not lean forward as much, and relieve pressure from B17 saddle, hopefully stay on sit-bones better. Considering Albatross as well, but think I’d like the longer grip area and more out sweep of the Nitto Billie. Any thoughts on this are welcome. Never rode swept back bars before, other than around the block.

I think you are on the right track. On my Clem I have found the sweet spot with a Tosco & a B67. It’s a magical combination. No longer need a padded short & hand / wrist issues are but a memory.

Yes indeed. I use a B17 and had Grant design a custom for the upright position I need to deal with my arthritic wrists. The original plan was for Boscos and their massive height but the grip angle was a little too severe for me, I switched to Billie's on a DirtDrop and that's the stuff, baby. The splayed out angle (a little more than Albatross, too) is just what I needed. 

Pictured on a the very hot ride I did today: too hot but I was comfy!

Thanks for the insight y’all. And great looking bike Joe!  Hope someone has some Billies cause Riv is sold out.
