Hey guys!

I would like to ask you all, do you know of any company or builder who makes components on order?

Like handlebar (shape/ form) and possibly stem and saddle?

I would like a bar similar to aflat bullhorn but with aggressive bend handles, short reach and low drop.

Reportedly, I've heard that if you have enough $$, AX Lightness will talk to you about custom one off parts.

Won't be cheap though, and I don't like AX lightness parts.

Ax Lightness do that? Well, i guess it would cost more than i could afford. Thanks for the tip though!

Contact Berk composites? Again, it probably wouldn't be cheap...

Not so easy, this one. Many of these guys work on new stuff and probably try to use time best they can.

Maybe i should clear out what i have been told talking concept components.

What seems to be the problem is that it requires a mold, this is a huge cost.

I did not realize this. Or possibly we need to supply a CAD drawing, which i admit i have no skills of.
