Groovy Luv handles?

Anyone tried any?

I found Mary bars a little odd for fast riding

I liked fleegles but found I missed that little bit of rise

They luv handles look interesting, not light, or cheap and hard to get hold of so just wondered if it was worth the effort. I only have one mtb so it has to be just as at home trying to blast round Glentress as riding all day with luggage.

The look quite nice http://www.groovycycleworks.com/luv-handles

It's a shame that Ragley stopped their Carnigies, but it's lucky that I have a spare for a future build.

They are only 660mm wide as standard so I'd be looking at a custom 690mm set

Rising stem?

I did consider that but discounted it on vanity grounds

Looks bad enough having a stem like that on my crosser

There's always the Carver MyTi bar ... plenty of width but it appears to be flat with no rise.

These look like they might be replacing my Marys if/when they become available.....

Should be a slightly less financially painful experience compared with Jones and the like. Maybe?

Quite like those Genesis bars

Carvers looks nice but as you say no rise as maybe getting too sweepy again

Re the rise my stem does have a little but there is a limit to what you can get in 70mm without a comedy stem so a little in the bars is good

I'm still on 25.4 bars

I'd been looking at the love handles the other day, I still think a set of alloy Jones bars makes more sense for weight and cost.

What Tommid said.

Just fitted some Jones Bend bars to the Puffin and quite like them. A bit less spendy than a Loop, but same geometry.

I hadn't even thought about the Jones bends.

The steel love handles are the best part of £70 before you even get them to the UK, Charlie the bike onager has bends at £79.
The ti ones are £179ish, you could get a secondhand set of ti Jones or a set of alloy loops for less
