Thanks Will and Ben. Yeah, I forgot to mention that silver is also a requirement. Probably still in denial of the massive recent proliferation of black bike bits. Just not a fan. At all.
The Crust in silver is interesting. I don't love love love the quite-steep angle, but the 30-degree version would mitigate the too-short quill. Interesting that there's only one extension available (which happens to be too short for me). I assume Crust is focusing on its use with their own bars on bikes that their customers would likely own. I'll keep my eye on Crust. They may stumble my way (longer quill and/or more extension) at some point.
