Hambone,
i have two of their handlebars. one on my road bike which feels great and the OS MR bar for my mtb that unfortunately i have not built yet. all i can say is it appears nice. i included the weights below. it is definitely pretty light. what i also liked about the riser mtb bar was that is was fairly "mild" ...nothing to drastic.
i just thought i'd mention these because i don't think too many people ever consider them. they seem like a quality company with quality parts.
take care
