Title: What are the best/biggest bars?
Post by: Torker pro-x on June 02, 2009, 11:04 PM: Can't seem to find any apart from GT Pro, so was thinking of Federal 20/20? As they are 8.25 rise and 28 width, whats best? :daumenhoch:
Also have a nos white Aeroyal seat which I may swap for some New style Redline flights ???????? :daumenhoch:

LOL I too remember CW's (were they not a 30" wide bar?)

But my fave 2 bars from then was the Renthal bar or the VDC Monkey-bars!!

Post by: lodge on June 03, 2009, 06:31 PM: Renthal made loads of different sized bars in the 80's, Glyn Lewis rode the biggest ones available around 86, they were huge I wouldn't like to guess the rise but the cross bar was a similar height to a pair of CW's top bar.

Title: Re: What are the best/biggest bars?
Post by: Bettyswallocks on June 04, 2009, 09:26 PM: I'd go with new school bars, way stronger, less flex, wont be crushed when you tighten the stem, better to ride with, no worrying bout trashing a decent set of old bars

Be daft not to... :daumenhoch:
