Ah just what I need; I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder that after 40-50 miles on my road or gravel bike is extremely painful. Have a 30 deg short stem but that doesn’t really give me enough upright on those bikes. I have a touring bike (Co-Motion Pangea) that I bike tour around the world (currently finishing my annual get away from Colorado winter for 4mo) and I don’t really have the shoulder problem with at bike as I sit more upright.
Are the handle bars available now??
Len, the handlebars are available now directly from https://RedshiftSports.com
Man, Redshift make a lot of really cool, well-thought-out products. Apparently, they also make this.
Buy a $140 handlebar (plus new tape and probably labor for someone to do the swap) instead of a $30 stem to get the exact same riding position? It seems a little…very stupid. Who is worried about the aesthetics of a steep stem angle, but think this looks good? Seriously, bring these people to me. I don’t believe they exist.
