What do I need?
Hacksaw? (& a vice?)
Or will it be easier / cheaper to take it to a bodyshop / metal workers to do it 5 mins? ;)
Cheers
Dan

what width are you cutting down to?

Leave the bars on the bike and use a hacksaw, takes no time at all
Top tip: Take the grips off :daumenhoch:
-
what bars are they
maybe someone with chopped bars after a trade etc

Bars are Fly in metallic orange 28 inch, looking to cut 1 inch off.
They a bit scuffed up, but very light.
:daumenhoch: Betty, can see that would work.

Try them before you give them the chop, 28" wide is spot on :daumenhoch:

I've used a plumbers pipe cutter from B&Q a few times. Takes abit longer but I think it gives a neater finish. Only problem I've come across is that you have to file the inner part of the tube where the bar end goes.
