Title: bar ideas wanted
Post by: harris on March 23, 2007, 03:31 PM

im having a small change on one of my 90s rides
i had a little go on it today  and i need something widder and more sweep
it is fine in general but love bars are kinda neutral  so am putting them on another bike .
i now quite a few but more ideas are welcome.
this is for general street /ramp   tar dan.

those castillos look tiny. I rode using them for ages. You should do the same thing but with castillos, slams, and old slams!

Dan, I might have a set of slams or castillos if your thinking that way (lthough the slams are much the same as ones you can buy all shinny and new)

I think Rorys Slams are the same as the top ones here. The later, and close to current ones

Rory, are you sure they are "Race" Slams ? (aka challenger bars). They use thinner tubing but also have a smaller dia cross bar (for lightness and to tell them apart from normal Slams). It is still sometimes hard to tell tho.

COme on round to my house. I have got about 5 bikes that all need a building sesh to get them finished!!! :LolLolLolLol:

Its when you get to the brakes and drive that you have to start thinking about it a little more, and things stop fitting. Thats when I move onto the next build and start bolting on wheels and bars again.
