Another couple of pics.

Yep the flat style bars in the Rickman ad I posted are 725mm or 28 1/2" wide. and they look right to me. Some had a stamp or serial number on one end. Have you seen one on these?

Brian never braized bars. Others did hence the difference .

Of course Brian made and brazed bars. He designed and fab'd the original pro bars with the high cross brace. He told me that himself. He even admitted that they were shit lol. Not the design, but the fact that they were also made using the same guage T45 tubes as the frames, which is inherently soft and doesn't cope well with being clamped by a stem. Hence why when he makes bars now he uses 4 pieces of tube allowing him to use a thicker walled tube for the bottom of the bars.

I haven't had the grips off. If I get a chance at the weekend I'll have a look :daumenhoch:
