If you were in the market for a new set of bars and found an ex-display (not ridden) set for a saving of £55 (55%) or a new set for a saving of £44 (44%) what would you do?

By the bars I preferred and not worry too much about the £11

Both the same bars

Save yourself £11 then, as long as they’re unmarked.

It all depends who is selling them. Any decent bike shop would not sell anything that is dangerous

For £11 get the new ones….

Display bars as in stuck in a cabinet rather than sat in a box? Or as in mounted to a demo bike and used?

The former – display. The latter – new.

As in put on a display bike that has never been ridden

Display for me, they’re only new once.

No No No. Search around and find a local bike shop where you can pay full retail price.

On-One used to do a service whereby they’d go ride your new bike for you to get it muddy in order to fool OH’s into thinking it was an old or 2nd hand bike!

Bought the ex-display, they look brand new
