Just a heads up to the group if you missed out on the Crust ortho bars: there is a fellow who makes all types of handlebars under the moniker DoomBars on instagram. He does a lot of swoopy albatross style bars. I’ve ordered 2 pairs from him over the last couple years. He’ll do any sweep/ rise/ width. It’s really actually awesome. He’s really great to work with. They’re made of steel. Very strong but not too heavy. When I ordered I think they were either $100 or $120 might have gone up, not sure. If you’re looking for custom bars they’re hard to beat. -Mike
