Anyone remember these handlebars? Just because these where my first set of handlebars I got brand new, I have forever loved them, still have them too!

I have been running them on my bike for about 7 years!
My favourite bars of all time!

If you want to let them go, let me know as I could use a set for my other bike. Are they uncut?

They are cut down to pretty small size, grips hit the bar curve. And they are pretty damaged, years of bending them back after bailing from airs and such, they would flop like skinny guy taking a hit from Nigel Ben! lol

This annoys me, I can never find a pair in good condition for sale! But these seem cut as the originals where 28" if I remember correctly...

There are two pairs on BMXMuseum.com,

yes indeed , the ANML Scerbo bar is hat bar, just as the new Sean Burns bar is the old Hoffman bar...
I had those Powerlite bars for a few years, I loved them

I think the Scerbo bars are copies of the '92 GT Pro Freestyle bars, not the later Powerlite style?
