A FEW MORE BITZ TO GET FOR TOTAL COMPLETION

-
Thanks Lazychubs
Yeah they do look big. Mini cruiser then !!! :o
-
Nice mini ripper mate,how wide are the bars ,any chance of a pic from the front,would they be any good for 24" cruiser.Are they easy to find etc :) ;)
-
The bars are Radix junior bars which are only 22" wide with a 4" rise. I reckon they would be too small for your cruiser
AlansBMX have several cruiser bars available. Check this link
