There was a bit of a bru-ha-ha when they appeared on the Alpkit site but they got removed. Due back then?

Are they actually going to happen?
That's kinda why I've put off punting for a Jones for the last 3 months but doesn't seem to be info about them!

After talking to Kenny at the WRT, I was under the impression it wasn't happening ... maybe something 'similar' in the future but certainly not the proto' bars we'd seen.

There may or may not be some out and about......

they certainly seemed hopeful about releasing something very similar the the loop when i spoke to them about a month after the hoo haa.

its not like they are patented or anything

If you just want similar ... then buy some Humpert Space Bugel bars for £15. From a distance, it'll look like you've got Jones bars

or really close up ....since they are narrower than my old XC race bars when narrow was fashionable.....

a wider mary would be nice .

carnegies/OGs dont have as much back sweep on them as the mary - but the marys too narrow.

Anyone tried Surly 'Open' bars? Plenty of backsweep going on with them.

The OG's I've got have just as much back sweep as my Mary's, could try and pull out a picture of you want?

Did the Surly Moloko bar ever make it into production?

I like them ^
Let's just say that I also have a pair of 710 Jones loops on my spearfish, and I hear that the fu man chu are VERY similar when compared side by side....

Nope, and then they started fitting loops on certain models.

25.4mm clamp area? I've not seen a bike, road or MTB, with anything but 31.8mm for years. Might need to look a bit harder mind.

Come and have a look here Bob, there's loads of them ... although it is becoming more difficult to find decent stems these days.
