Title: alloy mtb bars
Post by: john4130 on April 03, 2012, 11:58 PM: i've been looking for an alloy 22.2 unfluted seatpost to butcher up a pivotal post with no luck, i've seen alloy mtb bars on the bay cheep but does anyone know if these will be 22.2mm. i think their wider at the clamp area but the grip area should be 22.2mm. i only need about four or five inches of pipe.

cutting down renthal bars John, is a bit like making love to a beautiful woman...

firstly all renthal bars of this era are aluminium and very strong, next is to choose your length and then make that cut; slipping it nicely into her seat-tube as required.
