Just trying to work out the bars for my redline 600a
going to use a redline fork lifter copy stem - so that puts the reach up a bit
so a set of win V bars
or a set of CW pro bars
The CW's are nice and light, but will the stem and the height of the bars make it a strange geometry for me being 5'7"
or will the win bars loose the race feel of the frame ? my Pro burner has the win bars and feels dialed, so will the redline frame feel the same
just stuck which bars and way to go ??? :-\ some times you just gotta see which way others would take it
cheers B :D

-
;D did wonder if you got the stem or you put it under the Christmas tree
-
thought i sent you a pm to say it arrived? ???
-

so back to the question ?

i can see them turning out to be a bit pricey at the end of the sale ;D
no one has said either one ? strange as i know you lot - and you don't usually hold back ;D

real crazy suggestion.... fit the cw's then ride it. Then fit the V bars, then ride it. see which you prefer, and keep that option :daumenhoch:

Do away with the forklifter an get a brute with V bars !
You wanted an honest answer ! :daumenhoch:
-
It was only that i had the items and not the money for a brute stem ;D
