Title: Bars?
Post by: ron burgundy on September 23, 2007, 11:45 PM

Give a few ideas for bars... it's for my 95/96 Hwa Fong Daddy, I have GT Pro race bars on now, but they feel huge and the rake is to straight/flat, I've tried a set of 7" TNT Retros, but they are to low( bad back and all that bollocks)... 21" top tube, TNT pro stem and I'm 5, 9"

Giz a clue...

it depends on what you want to set it up like.
s&m slams   nice
standard strip bars also nice
or a peregrine  bar
hoffman  low drag bars

What other Mid school bars are Hard to come by?
