Nitto UI-12 is forever sold out and can't afford a Simworks Rhonda. Planning to have an old mtb number, such as Ritchey ForceLite customized with a 31.8 clamp. To fit a 1 1/8 steerer. If someone has one with a 31.8 clamp, 80-100mm length works. Cheers!

That’s an oddity. Might be better to just grab a decent 25.4mm handlebar

there are some, but not for a budget unfortunately. the thing is the (expensive) 31.8 bars have been bought already, they are going on the bike in a way or another.

Agreed, that is a weird one. I went on a similar hunt a couple of years ago, and ended up just getting a aluminium one.

you can get some real nice ti ones from aliexpress, if it's the styling you want. These ones are about £50 delivered.

seen some of these on ebay and was wondering where they're from. explains the low price. not a bad shout for ti at all but i'm trying to avoid aliexpress for ethical reasons :)

Nitto/Fairweather UI-71 any good? Will need to find it and check but it's probably 90mm, black and maybe a bit scratched.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
