Specific issues, often technical, regarding bicycle design
New Titec H-bar
There is a new licensed version of the Jones H-Bar made by Titec. This one has the same geometry and hand positions as the original curved extension Jones Titanium H-Bar. Unlike the first Titec H-Bar, this one is for 31.8mm stems and has no rise. I’ll have it available with cork grips and tape […]
