  1. Well I think they are lovely. Bugger all chance over being able to afford them, but hey. To be honest the more comments I read from people slagging them off, the more I started to like them….
    Where can they be ordered from? Just so that I can bookmark the page for future window shopping purposes.

  2. Yep, the more I look at them, the more I like them. All those who don’t trust a welded bar to stay in one piece, stop using your bikes NOW. They are definitely going to break on you the next time you ride them, FACT.
    Right, now the idiots have all left, the smart ones can get back to admiring a neat solution to a tricky problem. Still can’t afford them, tho’.
    *Sniff*

  3. I’ve come to the conclusion that they are a “folly” (in the architectural sense), not that they are strictly for decoration, more that they have a sense of “fun” and “light heartedness” about them, a great feeling of “lets just do something because we can” – rather than because it makes sense in a world of focus groups and profit margins.

  4. I’ve heard this little company called Easton do some pretty light and strong handlebars, could be worth a look…
    (Boring factual bit, Aluminium is actually a lighter material than titanium, Ti is just stronger. If you are limited by wall thickness, this bar could be heavier than say an E70…) Tarty though. Nice gimick for the rich and lonely….

  5. @Brant – Cool name, is he/she a greyhound by any chance? We have 2 plus 2 lurchers…

    @treesandrocks – surely life would be rather dull if we all just stuck to the sensible option, for a start the only cars on the roads would be mondeos.
