Is there any other product on the market like the Corner Bar? I've looked and looked and haven't found a product remotely close.
I've even looked at seeing if my components would slide onto some of the flared gravel bike handle bars.
I'm strongly considering having a custom bar, using this idea, catered to me specific needs.

They seem only vaguely similar in top view, and the Surly product is a lot more 3D.
I’ll try it but may stick with my Bends. I want my hands about in line with the clamp and it just depends how they fall to hand.

I tried that Jones Bar, but the 45 degree back sweep is not compatible for me. The lateral oscillations from the uneven torque of my short arm was a total nightmare. That's the reason I want a narrow hood position (> 40 cm). It greatly reduces the uneven torque issues I have.

Velo Orange has a new version of the Crazy Bar coming out soon. It softens the 45 degree backsweep angle to 35 degrees, and also widens the bar, which is probably good news for many.
