These pics show only the mount for the Garmin 1000 (on the left). The Walkman (BT) player mounts on the red accessories mount (on the right). Both are off the bike charging, Oi Bell (custom engraved). Mirrors (L and R), Rohloff shifter, brake handles (L and R), motor throttle, motor controller, GoPro camera, water bottle. 20″ plastic covered stainless steel rope, Fugoo remote… and this is all behind a over full bar bag. I also have a (Green Button) motor interrupt that I need to mount in a good spot. Thanks for the interest.

In reply to Brian Bassett. So, what kind of handlebar do you have and humor us by showing off your real estate on your handlebar.

I don’t miss my Bike Friday but I miss the H-Bars it came with. Possibly the most comfortable bar I have ever used. If I ever get a touring bike designed around flat bars, that would be my first choice. It would make packing a bike for travel easier as well.

Now-a-days it’s not just additional hand holds that bars are providing, but also space for all the additional items that start to build up over time. Brake levers, shifter(s), mirrors (Yes I ride with two, how does anyone go without?) bottle cage, large bar bag holding up to ten lbs., GPS, GoPro, bell, eBike controls and LCD screen, brake lever lock, compass, Blue-Tooth speaker control and a 8 foot wire cable and padlock. All this “crap”, to use my bike shop owner’s words, and I still have 3 or 4 different hand holds. Adding an adjustable stem that will tilt the bars several degrees is about all I need to be the perfect setup. If you plan on packing the bike for train or air travel having butterfly bars that easily fold down would be nice.

In reply to Donnieboy. Awesome to hear the Loop bars are working well. I'll have to test a set soon.

I bought a Loop bar in black aluminum from Jones last year and had it shipped to Canada. It cost me almost 300 bucks cdn with shipping. At the time I couldn’t tolerate the 400 dollar titanium version. Buying the Loops bar was the best decision I’ve made on my bike, and my bike is pretty rad. Mega comfort on long rides! No hand tingles, pain, discomfort, just riding fun! hand positions are available to reduce fatigue – and if you ride 60+ km or deal with headwinds, you’ll really appreciate that! In hindsight, I would buy the titanium version to match my bike.

Why no moustache bars?
