What do you get when you add more yeast to a pair of Jones bars?

These apparently

Look nice but struggling to see the why? Surely putting a few spacers below the existing bar will work similar?

Not if you're steerer is too short

The only way to get around it would be a riser stem

:-bd interested in these for the fat bike (where the steerer is a bit on the short side as mentioned above). It's had Jones bars on it before and I've been looking for a riser stem.

Solution finds it's problem :grin:

They would look incredible on my special needs stooge - it already has loads of spacer and a 50mm 30° stem - with these it would be a proper sit up and beg :lol: :lol:

Aye saw that today, ideal for middle age gits with back probs like me! They would put the bars on my jones 4" higher than the seat :-bd
No doubt there will be a further price hike over the standards....

My brain wondered what they'd be like flipped. On an older touring bike I have with uber high headtube.

But yeah, I like the idea, for certain circumstances.

Just looked on the Jones website - these are available to pre order at $79 - that seems a bit bonkers for Jones bars

Same price as the SG loops (which I believe are just short of £100 in the UK)

The weight is getting a little excessive though, as a born again weight weenie the 600g plus is scary :o

I'm wondering if the agressive rise stem brigade will prefer the look of these in wanting to get a higher bar position as well? Should give options for deeper loop pocket storage pouches too.

I also like them, they'll look much better that the massive stack of spacers I currently have!
