If you look at old skool pics alot of us had our bars forward to the degree that if the bike had been pictured like that it would look crap.
I agree though that bars for pics do look better when in line with the angle of the forks but it dosent make a build any worse for hving them forward. ;)

Nick, I spent most of my youth through to early twenties working in bike shops (Heff's in West Drayton and Pedal Power in Isleworth), trust me when I say most kids had their bars too far forward because they had slipped forward trying jump their clinkers and not out of choice. The amount of times we would put them right for kids on a Saturday morning only to do it again for them a week later :daumenhoch:. If the bars are too far forward the sterring is too "quick" and prone to washing out the front wheel in corners, on the other hand it does make sit down wheelies easier :).
A good guide to how your bars should be was printed in BMX Action...

Pikey here >:(
I must say they are not the most attractive thing on the eye - however I guess if we build a bike to spec i.e The Nova, then it came with a UL - I could go in the loft and change it to a Kashi maybe but that then ain't spec correct.
Where's Bodamus when you need him ::)
Anyway I still love you all whether you are homosexual to the Elina UL or not :LolLolLolLol:

And when your bars are too far forward Nick it looks like your trying to put your bell in your mouth when riding your bike.
