i gotta a feeling the flush edge ron c's must have been a good idea on paper as look lovely, but those corners wouldnt fill me with confidence if i was inclined to ride hard, maybe thats why ya dont see em very often, as they may have snapped a lot n cyclecraft were getting tired of pulling out for spleen repairs  :D

They look just like my DK bars, I'm sure mine have the end caps with holes as well......I know you've sold them but I'll take some piccies later so you can see.

Title: Re: What are these OS Bars?
Post by: jT Racing on February 11, 2011, 12:32 PM

I think they are dk too. Remember them from when I was investigating my bars.

Title: Re: What are these OS Bars?
Post by: OrgasmDonor on February 11, 2011, 05:14 PM

could be wrong, but im sure DK have a higher cross bar n less rake

From what I can see, the crossbar on those DKs is the same thickness as the rest of the bars but the Rons (or whatever they are) seem to have thinner tubing for the crossbar.   :-\

i can assure you te blue ones are not Ron C's, i have a set of those and they are completely diferent  :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: What are these OS Bars?
Post by: thecrooch on February 11, 2011, 07:36 PM

mine are definitely thinner in the top tube area than the DK's also Pickle looks like your have knurling whereas mine dont... i think they are Fred Z as per my original...

Title: Re: What are these OS Bars?
Post by: Swivel on February 11, 2011, 10:24 PM

Not Ron C's but look like Fred Z's to me, I have a set of Ron's in the loft and they are not like that fella  ;)
