They are real beauties. Really clean.
All this talk of the Haro bars. Are they on the black Pro? They are soooo sweet. If you do end up taking them off...I'll have em :LolLolLolLol:
-
Nope the bars on the pro are Curtis Pro bars and they are very very hard to get hold of

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/g243/gashead69/KuwiPart2070.jpg)
Bars in question are on this one - however not sure those big pro bars would be any good on a freestyler - The haro bars were the closest thing I could find - anyone else got any other ideas ???

Early Redline Forklifter Bars from around 85 would also be cool but looks great as it is mate.
