Title: 4pc bars!
Post by: Steve Shindig on February 25, 2009, 10:05 PM
So pleased they are making a bigger comeback.  I just got the Sputnic 8.25 rise ones, so nice.  Will post pics tomorrow. 

Which of you lot are going to convert back to 4pc?

Just sold some mid school 4 piece bars this week. I loved them for the looks but with them being mid school they didn't ride very well on a new school frame with them having very little back sweep, if any at all. Plus they were mid school weight which as we all know was 'kin' heavy!

I reckon I might get some new ones in the summer, we shall see.

I was only just thinking about this the day, I really liked the shape of the mid school kneesavers (that used to come with the Haro Blammo's) and the early type Hoffman Love Bars. All the 4 piece versions that is without the extra gussets etc.

And as chris said they should really come in close towards the stem and have a low crossbar the the hole is nice and small..........

Cheers

Paul

nope, you're right.

they were called kneesavers for a reason.

and all bars should feel the same-ish, just look different. how can you 'get used to' bars with extra tubes. christ sake.

Although my comments were expressed with tongue firmly in cheek dude ;) when I did change from 4 - 2 piece it was very different as they were about 3/4" higher, 2" wider, with twice the degree of bend back & about a Lb lighter! I'm sure that these days you could swap out your bars with impunity pretty much as everything is more or less the same now - BIG! :knuppel2: I have ridden bikes with bars that just 'felt wrong' in the past too...
