Title: Apparantley I have had a touch
Post by: dj_benice on September 03, 2007, 06:00 PM
got sent this on the bay

Hi there. I saw you recently bought a set of VDC handle bars. I'm very sure you know what these are concidering you give $190 for them. But I wanted to let you know there are only 3 pair of these known to be made by VDC. The last pair on ebay had an ending bid of $700 and didn't meet the reserve bid. I talked to the seller and he said the chrome wasn't perfect on these but they are still a very very impossible set of bars to find. If you have time and aren't a member yet check out BMXMUSEUM.com (its free) and click on the V in the upper left hand corner you can contact Voris Dixon directly and get the scoop on them. MIKE

I am guessing it is the particular size that is rare cause fish n craig have at least 3 sets between em  :angel:  So should I get them re-chromed as was my original wont or should they be left as is?

Will get some better pic's when they land basically they are monkey bars but they have a 10 and a half inch rise which is what allegedly makes them so rare ???

They do look big, my wife thought they were two feet high but what does she know  :D

I thought they made a quite large Pro sized bar, I'm sure I've got an ad somewhere - but I could be wrong  :LolLolLolLol:

Best put a flashing light on em if you go out with en on a bike in poor visibility, and also look out for any 737's flying strangely low and eratically in your direction.

I think the guy ( Mike maybe ? ) is getting mixed up with the 7 inchers being the rare ones ? ( sometimes referred to as cruiser bars ) .

There were only 4 or so sets of those made allegedly .
