Morning all,
Came across the Surly Corner Bars the other day and pondering whether to try them out in place of Jones Loop bar for all day bridleway bashing. Don't want to go full 'drop bar' as I like being able to revert to flat bar. In other words, I don't want to change my brake levers...
Anyone use them? Quite spenny at £120 but if anyone can tell me how much they love them I might be tempted to treat myself
Well I like the look of those quite a bit. But at that price I'd want them to be more than some bent steel pipe. £120 seems to be the going rate in the UK.
Pretty sure The Vandal Metalworks had a go at making some gas pipe versions, he might have a few pairs around that he’d sell on.
I think he had a pair on one of the Bespoked bikes.
Thanks - I tried emailing on his site but got a bounce back 🙁
I would if I could get a set
He’s very active on the LFGSS forum, username is M_V if you wanted to pursue it.
I've been looking at this but I'm struggling to see how access the gear shifters work. I've been looking at the pics in the Bear Bones Bike packing website and I'm pretty sure you need to dislocate a thumb to up shift

Yeah, I don’t think it will be the slickest shifting tbh. But given my gears are always a bit shot it’s not such an issue…
