It's not just the bars. Pay attention to what cliffy said. It's the stack of spacers to get the bar too high, to then 'need' inverted sweep bars. Or: making bars swept down so low you NEED all those spacers to then get the bar into a position to ride them. I'm still confiscating tom ritchey's mustache for having his name on these.

If you folks want to be foul-mouthed about anything based on this pic, it's neither the fine folks of Taiwan nor Tom Ritchey. It's the fault of all those who pushed friggin tractor wheels aka 29ers, lifting handlebars to silly heights and thus bringing up the need for inverted rizers, flipflopped stems as in Tinker Juarez' worst times and more like that. Waiting for the first 29er with the handlebar mounted to the fork crown, actually.

Looks like the bar is flipped the wrong way that's it!! Looks kooky that way for sure but otherwise it's a confy bar for non technical/hucking mtbing

You expect to see stupid shlt at the taipei show.......but usually from companies you've never heard of and never will again.

Thomas Ritchey: hate to do it man.........but we're going to need you to turn in your mustache.

This is not Ritchie's fault. He is just an innocent victim of said no-name fabricator displaying yet another cookie cutter carbon 29er hardtail.
