Does anyone remember these handebars, there kind of a four piece  type bar, look like freestyle bars, they look a little like forklifters. I have just aqquired a pair and was not totally sure on them, any info is helpful, and if anyone knows what year there from it'll help me a lot. Thanks.

a true story about Action Zone bars,

my bro was a close mate of Frazer Campbell and Frazer gave him a pair of his custom made Action Zone bars, which were smaller mini version (cos he was little !  ;D)

I think they ended up at the local tip like a lot of our stuff back then... :(

AZ actually made bars especially for spinners which had a lower ride height to compensate for the increased stem height.
