its funny you should say that when i was doing my search on these and the jones loop h-bar i thought the same thing.i wanted the jones loop h-bar first but i didnt want to spend 120.00 on something i might not like so i found the titec version for 48.00 shipped on pricepoint. it definitly looks wide but at the widest point grip end to grip end it only measures 27" so although the shape is different and it looks wide it is no wider than a regular mountain bike bar. the bars on my camber comp measure the same width. so far they seem to be a great upgrade. i will give a better update once i get some more miles on them.
