Luv Bars

I just installed the titanium version of the Groovy Cycleworks Luv bar. These bars are a dream to ride and took no learning curve at all. Like a duck to water ;-)



I first tried out the steel Luv bars as a more affordable experiment and knew I had to have the lighter version titanium bars. I chanced upon a set of rare polished titanium bars that were for sale. Deal done.



If you've ever ridden the Jones H-bar and felt that the sweep angle was to dramatic then these should suit you fine.



Whats nice about these bars is you can install shifters without a problem unlike the older style H-bar. Jones has since solved this problem with his newer H-bar design but its very expensive. The weight difference is quite a lot between the steel version and the ti version. The steel came in at 383g and the ti 217g. Its also nice to loose a little bit of weight without sacrificing performance or durability.
