Title: Handlebar ID - Big Arse Bars?!
Post by: Bingo on September 23, 2008, 05:04 PM

Hi Guys,

Found these handlebars in my parents garage. I don't have a clue what they are, just that they're old, and BIG!!!

I had so many BMX's pass through my hands when I was younger, so they could be anything ???

PS - They are chrome, just dusty ;)

Anyone have a clue what they are??? (Would be nice if someone tells me that they're hot property and rare as fook :))

Ben

Found this picture in the reference section of another BMX website

Described as 1985 GT Pro Series Handlebars - They look the same to me :)

Yours are also narrower at the bottom.

I would say 10" GT Pro bars too.

Unless Robinson did a 10" bar? Mind you, same thing I suppose.
