That’s the basic idea. One could theoretically fabricate something similar with a swept bar and barends slid/mounted at the appropriate spot.
I’ve attempted to emulate the same kind of setup, but found it difficult to get the sweep and bend mix that works. Too many tradeoffs.
I can’t recall the exact cost, but they’re in the same ballpark (maybe a little more) as other alt bars, or nice swept bar + ends. Not enough difference to sweat, unless on a tight budget.
Here’s the writeup comparing his one-off version (Denham) to other bars in the genre (so called alt-bars).
