Distance Handles

I'm looking for ones that have booms on them for cyclometers,
waterbottle, bell, etc. and a handle to relieve saddle soreness. I'm
sure lots of people have made their own handles, and I'm sure lots want
to, like me. Thanks for any imput.

Mike

John Childs made a good one, I think he called it the JC handle, do a
search either in the fora or in the gallery for it.

I've seen it, but I have no clue as to what he used to make it, or where
to get the parts.

I think Evan Byrne made a coker style handle. he welded it though, so
you might not be able to find it. I'll look for pics of it.

I wonder if a cut-off pair of aerobars would work. Just cut it and
fasten it to the underside of the seat.

Something like this:

I sort of made a handle out of a metal peice (from an old bicycle part)
that fit around the seatpost of my unicycle. I have no idea where it is
now.

What did you use as the piece that extends from the seatpost to the
thingamajiger to the handles?

Have you ever done long distance riding? Mainly on a coker?

The handles are better for your hand and allows you to get a lot of
weight off the saddle and are very comfy. IMHO.

Your welcome. =p

I need to invest in a distance handle. I was riding today and noticed I
had my right hand on the handle, then my left hand cupping over my
right hand. THis was on the bigger, older KH saddles, with lots of
foam. It felt ok but I would like to have an actual handle.

Those Reeder handles are pretty slick.

Right now, due to lack of any other handle in my posession, I've got a
Reeder on my Coker. I was thinking of just going for the GB4, but the
seatpost mounted ones look pretty slick, and they also look like you
can put some serious leaning force on them, for in saddle saddle
breaks. Any comments on this?

Does anyone know what I could use as a boom that is pre-made and
inexpensive?

I, too, was wondering this. A reason why I made this thread.
