Congrats - that's beautiful. My MAP bars are out in today's mail. I'm building up an old Viner cross frame for riding the unimproved creek paths around here I've rubbed and touched it up since this photo (waxed it last night), but I'm still collecting parts.

Hey Amit - since (I believe) you are a big guy, you might find the Jitensha bar a little narrow. I had a similar MAP bar and found I preferred a bit more width. Just a thought. KJ On Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 1:55:26 AM UTC-5, Amit Singh wrote: For the Quickbeam! Let me know if you've

Hi Amit, I bought one of those flat-but-bent-back Nitto bars from Jitensha several years ago. It's got the red Nitto heat-treat band around it, like the $65 unavailable one on the Jitensha Studio site. I wanted more room outside the last bends, so I made some press-fit solid 6061 aluminum
