[ton]

looking for some curly bars, that curve backwards.
4 month off the bike has seen arthritis take a grip of my nearly fused wrists. cant use flat bars on my tourer now, even with ergon grips.

anyone got any to sell?

[slparsons]

I'm not selling any, but recommend On One Mary Bars as being very comfortable

[ton]

thanks mate, but on ones Mary's are a bit too narrow.

[Pickers]

How wide do you need them Tony?
I have the non-loop Jones bars that I bought from you earlier this year, but I cut them down a little - just measured at 675 mm tip to tip.... too narrow?

[ton]

Rich, sound ideal mate. how much you wanting for them

[Pickers]

Say £40 posted - how does that sound?

[deejayen]

As someone who has suffered from hand problems on a bike, I just thought I'd pop up a picture of an alternative...



I'm not evangelical about recumbents, and I'm the first to admit they have a number of disadvantages, but if you're struggling to ride a tourer any great distance it might be worth considering. I have one of this particular bike, with mudguards and an under-seat rack for mounting panniers. The main benefit is a complete lack of pressure on hands and wrists. Feel free to drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about the pros and cons.

deejayen......in a few years mate.....when I am old and knackered.

[deejayen]

Ha ha. Nae worries. At least you've now got a rosy future to look forward to!

Ton I rode one of those at York rally once it was great, tho after living in Belgium where there are quite ride them they are hard to spot near parked cars even with flags on. They do ride totally different to what I expected tho

I have a zoom butterfly bar and 120 stem, very comfy and flex a bit, your welcome to them if you can pick up from Banbury, oxon
