Title: Advice on Bars???
Post by: southend_styler on July 21, 2009, 10:04 AM: Right, still half way through my first race build. But i've hit a bit of a bump with the Bars!! ???

In my head i was planning on using Hoffman Racing Bars, but after borrowing a set from a friend and fitting them to the bike, i feel they might be a bit 'low'.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of what bars i should take a look at that are a slightly higher rise?

Excuse the ignorance but i'm really doing this blind as i've never raced/built a race bike before. :LolLolLolLol:

If there's anything I don't want to break under me it's handlebars...so I can live with the fact that they're not OS.
