Awesome new bars on Blue Lug Blog.

[Richard Rios]

Looks like Blue Lug has Riv's new bars or something very close to them on sale.  I am thinking about ordering a pair they look great! Anyone order from them before?

What in the world are those crazy curvy bars above the Riv bars?  Are they some wierd time trial things?

I'm assuming you're talking about the ones that look like moustache bars with a lot of extra forward reach in the curves, and that fit mtb style levers? Interesting for sure.  

I have never ordered from them but I think that, if you're in the States,  it is easier to do from the fairweather site.

Here's food for thought, though:

I was just recently wanting something like that - a moustache with the primary position being the one at rear part of the bar.   I'd like to try chocos, but can't afford them at the moment, and  am kind of concerned about how narrow they are.   Those blue lug bars don't look much, if any, wider ... and they have the unfortunate 31.8 clamp area.  

I happened to have an extra Surly Open 40mm rise bar.  I turned it upside down and installed it, and I think it is going to be AWESOME.  (won't know for sure until the snow melts.)   It looks a LOT like that bar.  It has all the grip positions of a moustache/albastache bar. takes mountain bike brake levers, AND is actually wide enough for a change, at 666mm!  And probably cheaper, too.   It's not silver, but it will be wrapped with handlebar tape anyway.     

Going off-topic now but, when Riv finishes up securing and finalizing their range of proprietary handlebar designs, this is what I hope they end up doing:  adding multiple, especially wider,  versions of each.   If it makes sense to have different widths of noodles and boscos,  then it makes sense to have different widths of albatross(ish), chocos and albastaches too, right?

Keith, I'll follow you OT and say that I love my Surly Open Bar w/ rise but not as much as the Jones hbar. I sent it down to Double-A but it could get a call up soon.

I'm talking about this thing and the open ended silver one above which is even more funky. What is it?

[Richard Rios]

I have no idea what those wild looking bars are either. But the pair of bars I was referencing were on the second link and have 25.4 clamp diameter. I'll check out fairweather to see if they got um thanks for the tip :)

That silver bar is a Scott DH, an 80's vintage triathlon aerobar.  IIRC "DH" was for the inspiration, the aero tuck of a downhill ski racer.  Here's how it should look complete with armrests and bridge piece.  The bends were supposed to provide hand positions like conventional tops and drops as well as a laid out aero position.  

My friend had one on his Mercian for years.  I hated the thing myself.

Hi Richard,

The first link you posted is about an old bar.

The blog post says that Tanifun (the author of the blog) bought it years ago, and that he can't figure out the name (or number) of the bar.

You can buy goods directly from Blue Lug.

If you want to know shipping cost, "Delivery Policies" link at the left of the Blue Lug site leads you to wrong page.

Instead, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click "Delivery Policy" link.

Takashi,

Thank you for the link and letting me know I'll be taking a closer look at the bars and might order a set. Hmmm but that means I might just need a new bike to put them on :/...
