The "JJJ Bar," which I consider to be the coolest flat handlebar, has returned with an update!
I actually used the old version of the JJJ Bar myself, so I am very happy to see it back in this renewed form.
SYCIP BIKES is the brand of Jeremy Sycip, a handmade frame builder based in Santa Rosa. The JJJ Bar is a promenade bar that Jeremy created specifically for gravel and dirt touring.
This time, the bar width has been increased from 660mm to 720mm, and the center clamp (31.8mm) area has been widened, making it easier to attach lights and smartphone mounts.
Also, the logo on the clamp area now has a new design that makes the "J" stand out.
I love that the logo is printed in both orientations so it can be used either facing up or facing down.
It is a versatile handlebar that truly excels in a wide range of situations—mount it facing up for commuter or cargo bikes to keep an eye on the city, or set it facing down for road rides or dirt rides that require a forward-leaning posture.
If you were to ride with these bars, which bike would you choose, and what kind of scenery do you envision? The JJJ Bar will surely guide you to the world you imagine.
Big Little Nick Bar
SIMWORKS Big Little Nick CrMo Bar
Material: CrMo Steel
Handlebar Width: 700 mm (center – center at ends)
Center Diameter: 25.4 mm
Bar Diameter: 22.2 mm
Rise: 0 mm
Backsweep Angle: 32 deg.
Grip Area: 170 mm
Colors: Silver, Black
Made by NITTO, Japan
Price: 8,800 yen (tax included)
The Little Nick Bar, a long-seller from SimWorks by NITTO, is now available with "BIG" added to its name.
While the handlebar width remains the same for both, the backsweep angle has increased from 15° on the Little Nick to 32° on the BIG Little Nick.
Much like a philosophy itself, this handlebar has a mysterious charm where a unique story unfolds in the hands of each person who holds it.
Once you grip it, you create your own rise, and from there, you can naturally discover the mounting angle that best suits your preference.
I truly believe it is a handlebar that is completed along with the person who uses it.
Please, weave your own story with this handlebar with your own hands.
Turtle 63 For 26″
SIMWORKS Turtle 63
Tire Size: 26″
Target Tire Radius: 345mm / 26″, 355mm / 650b, 365mm / 700c
Colors: Silver, Black
Compatible Tire Width: Approx. 50mm
U Stay: 5mm diameter
*Front and rear set, includes standard mounting hardware.
Made by Honjo, Japan
Price: 16,280 yen (tax included)
This one is fresh off the press. A 26-inch model has newly joined the "Turtle 63" series, which features a beautiful 63mm-wide turtle-shell pattern.
The Turtle 63 is perfect for older 26-inch MTBs or the BASSI Rachel.
The aluminum texture captures light softly, quietly enhancing the inherent beauty of a classic bicycle.
Designed for tires up to 50mm in width, it is a perfect fit for the 1.95-inch (approx. 50mm) size that was a staple for vintage MTBs!
For city riding that involves frequent stopping and starting at traffic lights, this width is easier to handle and provides a more noticeable sense of light acceleration compared to super-fat tires.
There is a subtle yet certain satisfaction in elevating the bike you use for daily transportation into something just a little more special.
The radiance of the fender created by the artisan's handiwork should add even more charm to your bike.
CHAMPION SIMWORKS Logo Zip Hoodie
CHAMPION SimWorks Logo Zip Hoodie
Colors: Black
Sizes: M, L, XL
Material: 100% Cotton
Price: 19,800 yen (tax included)
This is a SimWorks logo zip hoodie custom-made by CHAMPION, the "KING OF SWEAT SHIRTS" that leaves even crying children silent in admiration.
It uses a body featuring "Reverse Weave" construction, replicating a silhouette from the 70s.
Reverse Weave refers to fabric woven horizontally rather than vertically to prevent shrinkage in the vertical direction (Reverse = reverse, Weave = weaving), making it durable, resistant to losing its shape, and shrink-resistant even after repeated washing.
Additionally, ribbing is placed on both sides to ensure lateral elasticity and ease of movement.
The double-zip design makes it easy to regulate body temperature, and even when riding a bike, you can easily improve mobility just by opening the bottom zip a little.
There is a large "SimWorks" logo printed on the center.
On the left sleeve is the CHAMPION "C" mark.
On the right sleeve is the SimWorks "Heart and Arrow."
It is a garment that combines the rugged, high-reliability body unique to CHAMPION with the playfulness typical of SimWorks.
This is a hoodie that every SimWorks fan should definitely have in their collection!
Every one of these items is packed with the essence of SimWorks.
Handlebars you can choose while imagining how you ride and use your bike, the Turtle 63 that is a joy for 26-inch riders, and a reliable CHAMPION hoodie for everything from everyday use to riding.
I would be happy if even one of these items fits perfectly into your current bike or lifestyle.
New parts or apparel might just change your usual scenery a little bit.
