Thank you for posting! I have been trying to find these to encourage my 
boyfriend to love riding... but I guess I'll have to keep waiting!

 Eric, thanks for the link to the interview. 

 That is a beautiful bike. From the side, this set up looks a lot 
 like my Hunqapillar with Alba's. I'm hoping a Nitto NP stem will get 
 the 
 Ortho bars down low enough as my saddle is a lot closer to the frame 
 than 
 Uncle Ron's saddle is. If the bars slip in the NP stem slips, I may 
 try a 4 
 bolt Wendy stem.

[Eric Marth]

Yeah, sorry for any confusion! As of this writing, 13 June 2023, they are 
out of stock. But inbound! I know a lot of people were interested so 
figured I'd share some vague intel that more are on the way. 

Sure to sell out quickly, again. Lots of restock email notifications 
subscribed.

- 

That brings me to the mild outcry over the rapid sell through of 
Uncle Ron’s Orthopedic Back bar.  There is a narrative swirling around 
 the 
internet that we do this sorta thing on purpose —- if we were only that 
smart.  This is a short story about a small business with medium 
popularity.  

I generally prototype new products in my barn.  In the case of 
these handlebars, i used a nitto bosco as a blank and bent them to 
 where i 
liked it best.  I call up Matt from Crust and convince him to make them 
 — 
where he generally trusts me with baked in reluctance.  Adam Sklar 
digitally draws them up for me —- and its off to the best handlebar 
 factory 
in Taiwan who also happen to make Renthal’s motocross bars.  So these 
handlebars are gonna take a while to make.  In normal times, 3-6 months 
 is 
normal …. as things sit now, you are lucky to have a turn around under 
 18 
months.  

So there you are with a high performance geriatric handlebar design 
wondering how many you should order based on what kind of demand there 
 will 
be in 18 months… will we even be here??? Fuck! Okay, 90 sounds about 
 right. 
 90 it was.  90 gone in an afternoon.  More than 90 on order now…. you 
guessed it …. 18 months away.  Hope you still want them!

 In those Radavist photos, I noticed Uncle Ron has his stem down 
 below his saddle, and is gripping those bars at the inside end of 
 those 
 grips.

 My intuition is telling me a bullmoose version of these bars with a 
 170mm quill would fit my Hunqapillar better.

Hey all, in a recent video (May 31, 2023) Ron mentioned that another

 Eric, thanks for the link to the interview. 

 That is a beautiful bike. From the side, this set up looks a lot like 
 my Hunqapillar with Alba's. I'm hoping a Nitto NP stem will get the Ortho 
 bars down low enough as my saddle is a lot closer to the frame than Uncle 
 Ron's saddle is. If the bars slip in the NP stem slips, I may try a 4 bolt 
 Wendy stem.

[RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Eric Marth]

For anyone who missed it, Ron's email update included a bit on the 
availability, quick sale and re-stock of the back bars: 


   - 
   
   That brings me to the mild outcry over the rapid sell through of Uncle 
   Ron’s Orthopedic Back bar.  There is a narrative swirling around the 
   internet that we do this sorta thing on purpose —- if we were only that 
   smart.  This is a short story about a small business with medium 
   popularity.  
   
   I generally prototype new products in my barn.  In the case of these 
   handlebars, i used a nitto bosco as a blank and bent them to where i liked 
   it best.  I call up Matt from Crust and convince him to make them — where 
   he generally trusts me with baked in reluctance.  Adam Sklar digitally 
   draws them up for me —- and its off to the best handlebar factory in Taiwan 
   who also happen to make Renthal’s motocross bars.  So these handlebars are 
   gonna take a while to make.  In normal times, 3-6 months is normal …. as 
   things sit now, you are lucky to have a turn around under 18 months.  
   
   So there you are with a high performance geriatric handlebar design 
   wondering how many you should order based on what kind of demand there will 
   be in 18 months… will we even be here??? Fuck! Okay, 90 sounds about right. 
90 it was.  90 gone in an afternoon.  More than 90 on order now…. you 
   guessed it …. 18 months away.  Hope you still want them!

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Austin Moore]

I’m hoping the bars come back in stock.  Iv had my eye on them for the last
year with all the tease photos in IG. I didn't think they’d sell out in 5
minutes. Ron said in the Radivist comments section on the write up on them
they may have been shorted a little more then half the order.  So I have
hope that’s true and they’ll have more in stock soon rather then wait a
year or more for the next order if they do re order. Aside from that they
have a very elegant shape to them.

[RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

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 bars at the inside end of those grips.

My intuition is telling me a bullmoose version of these bars with a 170mm 
quill would fit my Hunqapillar better.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Richard Rose]

I never noticed this Crust bar before. But, since my (first ever) new 
conversation seems to be in a holding pattern.., my new to me Clem came with a 
65cm wide Tosco bar (similar) with 31.8 clamp size that is simply too wide for 
me. I also have the 31.8 FacePlater stem in 135 length - too long for me. These 
will both be for sale as soon as I am allowed to post them. New ones are 
already on their way from Rivendell.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[iamkeith]

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 fillet 
brazed susie, which is why I want to make them work.  

Otherwise, I agree with everyone about the custom Doom bars.  I used a 
different custom bar ("Arise") on my last mountain bike a few years ago, 
and I now have steel bars on 5 of my most ridden bikes.  I just can't see 
any reason to ever use off-the-shelf, aluminum bars again.  (At least not 
for a big guy like me who always wants wider and stiffer, and for whom a 
few grams of weight is not a big deal.)  I'm gearing up to get two bars 
from Doom, and ironically recommended the idea to someone on the IBOB list 
just a few days ago.

FYI, my "pack them full of sand" idea came from Charlie Cunningham.  That's 
what he did to modify aluminum drop bars into the first dirt-drop bars, 
which then inspired Grant to make the first mass-produced dirt-drop bar for 
the '87 MB-1.  But Charlie could re-heat-treat them after bending, so I 
think it's good advice not to bend aluminum myself.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Mike Davis]

Why not email or call Crust? They have always been responsive to my
queries. I would also click the notify button to determine when they might
be in stock.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Ryan Frahm]

As stated above, use a vice sandwiched between 2x6. Steel bar. Do not bend 
aluminum bars!
I was waiting for Ron’s bars since the first photo leak. Saw the post here 
that they were in stock but couldn’t get to them in time. Oh well hopefully 
they will come around again soon!

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Eric Marth]

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. Who knows if/when 
these will be re-stocked at Crust. I think this now-sold-out shipment had 
been delayed several months. 

Thanks to Ed and Taylor regarding shipping, I didn't realize they were 
issuing refunds. I just removed the bar tape from my order.

Well, I somehow missed this altogether.  Interesting though because that's

them.  Does anyboby know where to find reference to Ron first bending his

Gone. "Out of stock" at 0630 EST when I looked.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Michael Williams]

Just a heads up to the group if you missed out on the Crust ortho bars:  there 
is a fellow who makes all types of handlebars under the moniker DoomBars on 
instagram.   He does a lot of swoopy albatross style bars.   I’ve ordered 2 
pairs from him over the last couple years.   He’ll do any sweep/ rise/ width.   
It’s really actually awesome.  He’s really great to work with.  They’re made of 
steel.  Very strong but not too heavy.   When I ordered I think they were 
either $100 or $120 might have gone up, not sure.  If you’re looking for custom 
bars they’re hard to beat.   -Mike

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Bones]

Thanks for the head's up. I saw these on Ron's Atlantis a while back and 
was intrigued. I managed to snag a set before they vanished. About the 
shipping: I've ordered many things from Crust and I regularly receive 
adjustments for the difference in actual shipping costs once my stuff 
ships. $30 is steep, but I doubt you would ever end up paying that.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Ed Carolipio]

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.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Taylor M]

I second sending Crust an email.

I suspect whatever algorithm they're using to compute shipping costs 
doesn't take into account packing considerations, namely whether an item 
adds significant weight to or changes the size of the package. I ordered 
the bars + a hat and shipping was a little over $40. I was distracted so I 
didn't notice until after the fact, but they processed and shipped my order 
quickly and refunded $25 without me saying anything. This also wasn't the 
first time Crust has proactively refunded part of my order's shipping cost.

Maybe send Crust an email? 

Maybe there's a glitch in their shipping calculator, an extra $16 to ship 2 
rolls of Newbaum's seems weird.

 Ron said they'd be something line 67-69cm, but I didn't see too many 
 spec's listed. Does anyone know how wide these bars are?

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

[Eric Marth]

Getting off-topic here but shipping from Crust is outrageous. $14 to ship 
just the bars to me (I'm an hour away from the by car). If I add two rolls 
of Newbaums shipping jumps to $30!! It had to be said. Thanks for 
listening.

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks for posting, I've been wanting to try out these bars since I first 
saw a photo of them in one of Ron's emails 11 months ago, and they're 
nearly sold out already.

Ron said they'd be something line 67-69cm, but I didn't see too many spec's 
listed. Does anyone know how wide these bars are?
