I have two of them. The first was basically a steel copy of the Crust Ortho bar. It’s in steel and it’s almost a clone of the Ortho but the bends are sharper and thus it has more usable space for hand positions. The second bar is titanium and is on my Gus. It’s basically an enlarged Albatross that is 700mm wide. The guy who owns Doom, Keaton, is basically a genius in my opinion and he can sort of do anything you want. I ride wider bars because it gives me more room to ride technical stuff. If I was just cruising, I’d probably scale down to something more like 600-650.
