The -17 degrees stem and spacer stack really finish this off nicely.

Lol, thats horrible

I think it might even be a 20 degree stem

Dialled in

"confort" before looks....

I think this is now one of the new wonders of the world!

Aero bar at the angle adds a bit of lift, at 88mph rider is effectively weightless

That's why custom bikes are special, there's not a second bike like it.

Oh that is peak. Are we being trolled?

It looks like the standard "flat transition" fit to me

Inspired by a ghost grappler maybe

Lots of things going on here, obvious where the Fjällräven X Specialized got it's inspo from

I’m sorry, but I’m calling an intervention on the gravel (dirt) drops. They are not road drops and if you try to set them up as such they are pretty much unrideable. Although they are ugly, I think they need a pass from bdhu.
Soma Fab even except that they are wrong.
Just my 2p

buhd propaganda.

I don't think you are providing actual evidence that those bars makes sense mounted like that.
Are you suggesting that gravel bars should only be operated from a specific position in the drops and therefore sacrificing the "tops to hoods transition" is acceptable?
And if that is the case does that make a compelling argument for purchasing such bars you think?

If so I think they can be exempt from the BDHU doctrine as the point of this is to provide better position for riders on dropbars in both the drops and on the hoods. But then I'd argue that such bars are a shit purchase compared to a bore BDHU compatible flared dropbar that will allow you a "road like on the hoods" style riding for flat stretches and riding in the drops on descents and very uneven surfaces.

A bit, maybe, not at 45 degrees. I have gravel bars and they're almost parallel to the ground.

TBH honest I’m ambivalent about these type of bars. Maybe I should have called them ‘dirt drop’(?)
I have some Midges set up Bdhu and they ride superfine, I also have some Droves set up the same and the too are lovely. Yet the above bars and the like have a flat section at full drop as so long to make them usable if flat to the ground. I have no idea why they have come about and can see no positives. Yet here they are and we can’t blame folks for being unable to set them up.

This is true. I have edited my post above to clarify.

It's true. I wouldn't really know how to set them up nicely. I don't think I've ever seen them with a comfortable looking drop.

Never seen a crescent of that era with canti mounts before. Rebadged trek?

Another bar set up and this is all kinds of awesome

Back before Van Damme hit the roids

he did 1200k on this

that is a smoking hot bike otherwise
