I would really like to treat myself to some titanium handlebars to match my titanium frame,but struggling to find?
I currently use easton haven carbons
So my titanium ones need to be 711mm or preferably a bit wider but with some rise (all the titanium ones i have looked at so far have been flat)
I just wish those new thomson ones were low rise?
Can anyone help?

You won't find them, and if you did they'd be heavy and/or weak.

Although wasn't it Ragley/On-One who made a set of welded Ti risers - sure they were £200.

Kingdom are a great company. I was sponsored by them a while ago.
Chris is a lovely chap and easy to deal with. Its a small team so sometimes takes a bit longer for contact but they are lovely guys and make great products.

Do you get a free hug with every bar you buy?

I think some people on STW could do with a few free hugs.

My mate has Seven ti bars - very nice and quite cheap. Do custom width/bend.

Why do people start a thread and then ask for people to email them 😕

You've had 2 recommendations for Kingdom, seems good enough! Welded bars scares me slightly, I'd go for them on principal.

You've got some decent carbon bars, can't understand why you'd want bars made from an inferior material.

You seemed to ignore the comments you'd had. And yes, I agree it's a good place to share knowledge, hence finding if weird you asked someone to email you about something pertinent to the question asked.

Think very carefully about the stem you use with Ti bars; I had ali bars in a Ti stem and they creaked like hell because of the flexibility of the stem around the clamp point. I'd imagine Ti bars might flex quite a bit as well, but I may be talking bollix.

Thomson stem and Ti bar here and it's not creaked in over two years use.
