Looking to try something new on my Fargo, and would like to give the Jones Loop 710mm a try. 31.8mm clamp size preferred.

Thanks!

Do you realize ALL that needs to be changed to install the Jones bar?  I was thinking the same thing but spending over $400 to "try" something different left me cold.

I have a big bucket o' parts to pull from icon_biggrin

Specifically, going to re-use some Shimano XT dual control levers that I took off a previous mountain bike, with ergon grips and a good mount of bar tape. I built my own Fargo with MTB BB7's (instead of road), so pull will work. I want to mount aero bars, a GPS/phone, and a light or two. I think I have a 90mm stem, but decent cast alu ones are relatively inexpensive if I need another length.

I like the woodchippers, but my body geometry is a bit wonky and I've never been acceptably comfortable. I have a longer torso and shorter arms than normal (not awkwardly so, but enough to make fit weird). I can't really go back any further with the saddle without making the knee angle unsafe, so I want to try bringing the cockpit in closer.
