Nice looking bars.
What make please?
Also, your front fender / mudguard?
Also, can you fit a bar bag onto the bars?
Thanks

Hi
The bars are Jeff Jones Loop H-Bars
Front Mudguard is a new "Topeak Defender XC1"
Handlebar Bag? Only with a Thorn T-Bar! But i'm looking to making a custom bag to fit into to handlebar, more later....

Pete....

Hi Pete!

Those handlebars of your surely look nice. If I weren't running drops, those are hands-down the ones I would choose myself. I have been experimenting with Nitto Arc 'bars on a recumbent I am building, and these have almost the same bend (except much heavier-duty, of course).

Yours is still one of the finest-looking Nomads I've seen, setup as it is with a front suspension for MTB-style touring. As jags would say...

"Class"!

Just beautifully kitted-out and assembled with such an eye for detail to your needs and purpose.

Best,

Dan.

I like the look of the Jeff Jones Loop H-Bars, but they are beyond my budget here in the UK. Found the wackily named Humpert Space Bugel Handlebars which are a similar design (backsweep is less at 34 degrees).

Those Humpert Space Bugels* look very nice indeed, Erudin. Very nice, and a excellent price. You're right...a bit less sweep than the Jones bars, but honing in on a similar target.

Please let us know how they work for you over time.

All the best,

Dan.

*Apparently, "bügel" (with the umlaut) translates roughly to "stirrup". Ah, now that makes sense; the space bugels do provide a sort of "stirrup" for mounting accessories and such in the forwar part of the arc.
