Alternative Bike Handlebar's for Your Thorn?
« on: November 19, 2013, 08:57:12 am »
Hi All,
Some you know that I have been running alternative handlebar's on my Thorn Nomad, Well I was running Jeff Jones Loop Bar's until I changed to Salsa Bend 2 23 degree.

Well this is the low down on the new Jeff Jones Bar's and Older JJ Bar's

Nice link and very helpful to see not only the evolution of the Jones H-bar, but also a direct size, feature, and shape comparison.

Thanks, Pete!

Similar-looking 'bars (and the may be only "similar") are available pretty inexpensively from Soma Fabrications: http://store.somafab.com/flriswandmob.html

Best,

Dan.

Very interesting video Pete, did you have the H Bars on your Nomad? and was there plenty room for the Rohloff shifter?

Dan, I'll certainly study the bars in that link you put up as well.   :)
