I don’t think they put them up again on the site… unless I somehow missed the restock notification email. If you’re looking at them now as out of stock, it’s likely because they’ve long been unavailable on the site. On Jun 12, 2023, at 9:18 AM, Paul Clifton <paulgclif...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hey all, in a recent video (May 31, 2023) Ron mentioned that another shipment of Ortho Bars are currently on a boat heading for North America. So set that restock alert!

For anyone who missed it, Ron's email update included a bit on the availability, quick sale and re-stock of the back bars:
That brings me to the mild outcry over the rapid sell through of Uncle Ron’s Orthopedic Back bar. There is a narrative swirling around the internet that we do this sorta thing on purpose —- if we were only that smart. This is a short story about a small business with medium popularity. I generally prototype new products in my barn. In the case of these handlebars, i used a nitto bosco as a blank and bent them to where i liked it best. I call up Matt from Crust and convince him to make them — where he generally trusts me with baked in reluctance. Adam Sklar digitally draws them up for me —- and its off to the best handlebar factory in Taiwan who also happen to make Renthal’s motocross bars. So these handlebars are gonna take a while to make. In normal times, 3-6 months is normal …. as things sit now, you are lucky to have a turn around under 18 months. So there you are with a high performance geriatric handlebar design wondering how many you should order based on what kind of demand there will be in 18 months… will we even be here??? Fuck! Okay, 90 sounds about right. 90 it was. 90 gone in an afternoon. More than 90 on order now…. you guessed it …. 18 months away. Hope you still want them!
Mine came in today, and let me just say, I wish I ordered two. They are fantastic!On Friday, January 14, 2022 at 3:43:07 PM UTC-7 Andrew Huston wrote:
If anyone has buyers remorse, let me know and I'll take a set off your hands. I lingered and lost.

Eric, thanks for the link to the interview.
That is a beautiful bike. From the side, this set up looks a lot like my Hunqapillar with Alba's. I'm hoping a Nitto NP stem will get the Ortho bars down low enough as my saddle is a lot closer to the frame than Uncle Ron's saddle is. If the bars slip in the NP stem slips, I may try a 4 bolt Wendy stem.

Because everything is better with pics – drive-side view as described by John ;) I love how beat to shit this bike is, the mismatched Paul brakes, the silver, the purple. Is the fork a replacement? The article says he's running a 38-20 double with an extra ring as bashguard. Ummmmmm that's groovy.

69cm is just more than minimal width for my shoulders & wrists. But I'm praying these bars aren't TOO flexy for me, and that pairing with a long, low stem will give me some breathing room.
In those Radavist photos, I noticed Uncle Ron has his stem down below his saddle, and is gripping those bars at the inside end of those grips.
My intuition is telling me a bullmoose version of these bars with a 170mm quill would fit my Hunqapillar better.
