Clutching Mary

Okay, so I'm getting a set of On-One Mary bars for my machine. Does that make me a Nanna?

For those (including me) who have/had no idea what these bars look like:


Those don't look too bad at all.

On the right bike, those bars will look great. I like the shape.

Got a pic of the bike you're putting them on?

I like 'em. Why not go with some On One Midges? (Ok, I admit that it's just my obsession to try out some dirt drops.)

They look a bit more ergonomic then straight bars. Are they revised cruiser bars?

I've tried WTB dirt drops, and they suck worse than that green thing that's replaced our avatars that looks like something out of 'Sprited Away'.

The Mary bars are actually an extreme sweep riser bar, a la Jeff Jones. Some guys around here are running a similar design which I think is a Nitto of some description, but the Mary's seem better designed. Better designed than the Jones bars too I might add.

As much as I think On-One bikes are poo, I have to give kudos to Brant for taking a risk and doing bars like this. Barland is much more interesting now.

I'm all for innovations in mtb bars...or any bars!
