Which old school bars had the least rake? Been lookin for some for awhile but all bend back further than i like, Robinson Pro's are not bad but which other bars where nice n straight?
sarcasm, wittisisms, and general bollox welcome of course but an alternative to the Robbo pro's would be nice.
cheers :)

Damn. Thought this was about a new gadget for getting your drink without having to stand up.
-
Powerlite and Gt are pretty straight.
-
iwas expecting "ball ache" never mind, cheers Ad but GT are too raked for my liking, ive thought about powerlite, are they noticable straighter than GT, i know the newer school ones arent. :)
-
Didn't you buy some of the Supercross bars ? If not they are cool, but obviously not old school.
-
Daz, you need the later GT bars with the oval cross bar...
Your mates got them for sale...

thet are rake perfect my friend, but not oldy schooly enough for me, nice though
-
I like bars withonly a little rake & searched for a while. I bought some Sunn Brute bars which i know are new school but look like Redline forklifters & they only have about half to one inch rake.
I think they are meant for flatland.
Good luck in your search!!
:)
-
ive seen them but they are for my GHP so they are not quite what im after, cheers any way :)
