Got the bars from that-guy this past week and a 1up rack as well. Holds the bike perfectly. Couple comments: On my set, the groove in the bars that the 1up rack brackets are supposed to fit in was maybe a couple thousandths too narrow, making it hard to get the rack to seat into the groove easily. I fixed that in about 1 minute by just kissing the 1up brackets with my bench grinder.
Secondly, my 1up rack came with really long carriage bolts, so the female screw thingies (technical term) that clamp the rack were bottoming way before tightening the rack to the bars. This has nothing to do with that-guy's parts, it's just a feature of the 1up rack itself. I cut about ten threads off the carriage bolts, and everything is fine. Did anyone else have that issue? Seems strange I am the only one to mention it, or I just missed it.
Now that everything fits, it takes less than three minutes to assemble everything and load the bike. No changeover is needed to switch from my road bike to my mtn bike. Super nice setup, thanks to that-guy for making the bars.
