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

Thanks. I think I'll try it. As noted, I'm only worried about the finish cracking if it's anything like brittle chrome. These are fillet brazed, steel, bullmoose bosco bars. Other than being too high and too narrow, and too straight-back at the grip, they're a perfect compliment to my

Keith – Not sure of the exact process but I've seen a short vid of Ron bending bars. He had the handlebars in a bench vise sandwiched between two 2x6s. He then pulled on the bars with all his weight. No idea what the original bars are. As Mike suggests DoomBars seems to be a good way to go.

Concur with Taylor on Crust shipping. I thought their shipping charges were insane but actual shipping was a lot less and they refunded the difference after they created the shipping label. You can call/e-mail to verify but that was my experience the two times I bought from them last year.
