Those bars however don't half make the wheels look small, I thought a first glance it had 16" wheels on. :D

I wouldnt say they dont suit, i think eveyone is just used to seeing SE bikes with PW bars, just sometimes you have to step away from the norm.

The pics make them look bigger than they look in the flesh
