I think the Jones Bar looks much better with the grips designed for it and 
some tape to complement the frame. Pic below.

Looks great! Really want one of those for my Xtracycle! 

Only thing I think you need to finish it off is a bit of bar-tape, twine

I agree it's a little ungainly on a 1-inch quill adapter. It has that effect on 
my Clem L, too, which is excaserbated by the thin double downtubes. I like the 
look of the bars, but it *does* mesh better aesthetically on Jones bikes.

No doubt these are comfortable (I used to run Jones on my fat bike) but I 
can't say I find the 2.5 aesthetically pleasing. That front loop looks 
enormous. Maybe seeing them on more builds will normalize the look.
