I've been looking for some weird Wald high-rise for a project bike. The ones I'm thinking of have a
large useless forward curvature as they rise before terminating in the flat handle part. All the
local shops are either uninterested or playing dumb. Anyone know of a reputable online seller of
such oddities?

Perhaps you can discover the part number if it's in an online catalog such as
bikepartsusa.comf b WaldOpen ↗ Knowing the part number would help in ordering.

What I believe you are looking for is called a Ramshorn handlebar. They were used on some
musclebikes back in the late 60's and early 70's. If modern repops are to be found I am unaware of
them. If you find a pair in good shape be prepared to pay a good dollar for them as they are very
collectable and sought after.

Here is an example of a pair on a 1968 F-Series Murray Eliminator-Streeter.

The picture is located on my F-Series Murray Eliminator website, the ONLY site about these bikes on
the net. (Soon to have it's new home at dixiebicycles.com)

Thanks for all the leads. The bars I'm thinking of are the model 832 in the Wald catalog. A similar
idea to the old ramshorn bars of those old chopper bikes, but not quite as flashy. The usual
suspects, such as bikepartsusa, don't seem to carry them. ALL the LBS carry Wald parts of one type
or another, but have been unhelpful in this quest. I'm sure there's a store somewhere that has this
$10 item hanging on a wall collecting dust. I just need to find it.

Dear PaperCut,

Aha! Here's what the Wald model 832 looks like:

Nothing weird about them--Lance probably uses a pair when training.

'Dems the ones!!!

I thought they would be easy to find, but it looks like I miscalculated.
