Sup everyone, finally pulling out the Poseidon redwood after so long. Just wondering if anyone has any alt bar recs for under 100 dollars? I just wanna make like an all terrain kind of thing. Swept back but with speed and control. Was thinking of the albastache or granola moose. But other suggestions would be really appreciated!

Imagine “I wish my hands were more like this” and look for that shape
Been digging the Velo Orange Seine bars on my tandem. It’s the current Crazy Bar without the welded in place horns. I’ve found that 45° or more back sweep for a flatter bar is too much for me when I tried their Klunker bars, along with the Klunker being a bit stiff and harsh on the hands.
Might have to try a few out if you can to see what is most comfortable for you.
I bought a Surly Corner Bar knock off from Amazon that I quite enjoy… has some drop functionality but nice to ride upright too.

My Surly Skid Loader came with Surly Terminal Bars. I wasn’t so sure at first, but they really grew on me. I put Surly Sunrise Bars on my early 2000s 26er and love ’em. I put VO crazy bars on my tandem and really like them for touring. Before that I tried Ritchey kyote bars on the tandem and didn’t like them at all.
The hesitation with a moose bar is you can’t adjust the angle of the handlebar. With an independent bar you have so much more fine tuning, not to mention stem length.
I really like the flat section and the 35 degree sweep angle of the Seine bars from VO. And the price is right.
Jones bar is great! Great maneuverability during the rough sections, and the front section helps be more aero for the long straight roads.
Looks like a compound bow! I like it.
