Hi all, I haven't posted here in quite a while, I'm glad to see this place still going strong. I'm in the market for some new bars for my MTB. I'd really like to find something high compliance. I might just go with PNW's carbon Loam bars (hopefully on sale for $120ish for black Friday sales) but it looks like the Roost's Ti Riser bars are more compliant than the Loams. Unfortunately, Roost wants $300 for their bars.
Does anyone know if there is anything close to these available elsewhere?

Interestingly, after researching reviews for these bars, it seems Roost often drop ships these bars directly from China. It's an interesting business model IMO but it also makes me even less inclined to want to pay what they're asking for them.

Dang, I got relegated to the second page with zero replies.
I'll probably just go w/ PNW Loams on Black Friday.
Anyone have any experience with titanium flat bars at all?

I would contact warmly and whoever makes frame

I considered doing something similar but w/o knowing the specs of the Roost bars it'd be difficult to know what to ask for. Anyway, I ordered the carbon Loam bars from PNW yesterday, 25% off. The Loam is know for being compliant and is supposedly designed to flex up and down but less so front to back (a characteristic that a metal bar would likely not duplicate). The carbon bars are likely lighter too.

Tiris has made two custom bars for me. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2261800225982000.html The only downside is max rise is about 25mm and max backsweep is 7 degrees. For me it isn't a problem because I wanted 3 degree rise and 6 back.
It is the same grade of Ti that Roost uses.
