Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

yeah that's really what i want, as i've got bars like those already.

Just 'looks good' nothing special tbh. Still a bit 'lets put disc brake on a road bike' vs 'lets design a road bike around disc brake usage'. There is nothing better than Genesis Datum atm for that sort of usage.

out of sight.

On a hipster bike? Only because it's on display somewhere else. Whoever owns that thing is sporting a vintage leather belt full of vintage wood carving tools.

haha, now that i'd like to see!

Ditto I've got woodchippers that would benefit from being lifted a bit.

What length do you need? Might have one knocking around...

Ritchey do some high-rise stems, basic up to the WCS range I think (or at least they used to!)

The thing about the Nitto one is that it looks nice. that stem with the dirt drop bars look really good i think and normally high rise stems, particularly chunky black alu ones, look like German trekking bikes.
Not my favourite look.

I think Alex's carries the handlebar under a different name - specs seem to be the same. What about using one of their UIxx stems with spacers? They seem to be widely available.

Cheers, if it's in the 80-100 then it'd probably be ok maybe go up to 120 if they're hard to find.

Awesome! Should be in porn instead :)

I kinda need a wheel driven siren now...

More photos of this cross check?

@nev

what headset spacers

Just a (probably stupid) thought- there's 32 mm ID copper pipes for plumbing. Could make your own?

there's lots of cross checks here
