Hybrids / bad mountain bikes / insta wagons / bling rigids - please, i beg, no 700c 😩

I will add this to the short list, i thought it had no rise but having taken a look at it again it seems to be the same as the mary

Get a hacksaw on the Motos. I just took a bunch off a set of soma dream bars for polo, they's getting pricey now though.

Ran albatross on my pacer, very comfy, did some silly off-road stuff on 30c and still alive. Not great for running bags on though.

extremely triggered by resto mods voice why would i ruin such a great bar when there will be other options??

in all seriousness, they were gifted to a friend for helping me out.

i've considered it for the junkers

You can always buy more though (when eventually back in stock), doubt covid-era made in Taiwan bars are going to end up as collectible as early-90s USA/euro CNC ano madness.

Honestly on one Mary's (25.4 version) are the best swept bars I've tried. If you can find some I'd defo go for them.

The Mary are lacking a couple of inches in width to have the palm not resting diagonally IME (or have too much backsweep for the width, depending on how you look at it).

Yep. 58 Albas on 26x2.35. Rides like a dream

Also maybe Salsa bend deluxe? Or too wide? They come in 710

Edit: maybe they have no rise.

on the cusp of ordering some on-one ogs or 580 boscos last night i decided to go to bed and ordered some long voile straps this morning to try and alleviate my bag mounting woes with spacers

i will simply "make do" until the ideal bar presents itself

.

Hmm, mine feel wide enough and I really like the hand position!

Ideally I wish they never had so much forward sweep as that does kill any basket gains you want really, so thats my only Neg.

Ritchey Kyote?

To reinstate the wank on this thread, a feature from the haute wank How to spend it FT supplement. 700s are unimportant when the wanker is so gripping strong....

This is an intriguing setup. Does it have suspension or is it a rigid bike just made to look like it?

Looks like it all moves, whether or not it actually provides a good ride is another question entirely.

Either way it looks fucking awful...

Edit, I didn’t even spot the leaf spring on the fork, I assumed it was a short elastomer in the fork crown.
Hate it even more now.

Could be that the rear feels okay, definitely prefer the look of it to the front end. But it’s definitely an oddball setup for sure

Hydro on the rear, canti on the front? ‘Suspension’ from the Middle Ages? A stunning abomination.

Couple pictures from when I was actually riding my wanker bike on very unsuitable terrain 😱😱😱

Better off in this thread for sensible wankbrids.

That bike is lovely but you don’t want to incur the wrath of @Maj with its lack of cnc imported goodies. The fact it looks like it’s been locked up a thousand times pretty much excludes it from this thread ;)

intriguing setup.

That’s some next level wankery. I haven’t felt such hatred towards a bicycle in a long time.

Never knew this existed!

I'll revoke my submission and go else where, good day
