So I'm riding back from the NE last night, skipped up onto a curb on a usual cut-through over a bit of grass when I suddenly find myself eating said grass:
I somehow managed to not break an arm, collarbone, or any other bone for that matter. After a while I got up and did the one handed ride back to headquarters.
And the next morning, in the sunlight:
So I'm on the lookout for a new set of handlebars. Any suggestions?
Almost forgot; we don't particularly recommend the Origin8 bars.

I recently asked my Origin8 rep to stop trying to sell me Origin8 products. I have had a lot of unsatisfactory experiences with that brand, across the spectrum of products under that label, and have resolved to never buy any of it again.
King headset, Origin8 bar???
Nitto.
...and good job aiming for that grassy place.
actually that comment above was mine... don't ask why.
Point taken Linden. The king headset is most ridiculous but was given to me free, wanna buy it?
the "new" Origin8 Space Bar comes in two versions. Off-road, and non. The OR version is HEAVY-KEVY so come check it out.
I had the same bar... luckily it never failed on me. I took it off when I heard rumors of them busting. Later I noticed the clamp area on the bar was curved. Seriously, the section of tubing where the stem grabbed the bars wasn't straight. I'm sure a snug stem puts some pretty uneven stresses on a handlebar with a curved clamp area. You could try the Mary, my guess is that On-One has better QC.
