ok i will bring it to bones.

yes the bars are wide, i never cut them down

i like to be able to grip the bars and seat to do "side glides"  :-[

its a heavy bike, but it rolls really smoothly

well the wheelbase is around 34" and the head tube angle is very severe

ah right! still no though.
although they are probably sound, the big alloy pegs are best for flatland. you can get away with a lot on a flatland bike as they look odd anyway. so 2" knurled pegs dont stand out. and they are comfortable to stand on, with a lot less chance of missing your footing

no worries, got a flatland project in the pipeline so was looking for some fat midschool pegs to finish it off.
