groundskeeperwilly - MemberDaffy & Northwind - are they the Carbon Cobalt 11 bars? Seem hard to find, especially in 780mm width!
I got mine from CRC but I see they're out of stock now. Probably a bit of a niche too far tbh
(I think Daffy might have a set to sell?)

thanks STATO - wish they did a stealth version really. Tape would be my fallback option if the logo can't be easily removed!that will just look nasty. The decals are hardly intrusive.
er... is this subtle is it?

My Spank bars had white logos so weren't so bad, but they are a bit lary.
I don't know how to get decals off carbon bars but I was thrilled to discover that nail varnish remover removes the printing from anodised aluminium bars with very little effort. It looked rather strange having two bikes that were almost totally stealth apart from lairy bar graphics.

I said hardly intrusive (mine are white) - personally I don't look at the front of the bars when I ride and even the yellow ones are fine. My bro in law has the yellow ones on his patrol.
I suppose if the rest of your bike is covered in logos they may not be as in your face, but even on my yellow and black nukeproof those graphics are very noticeable when looking at the bike. Well applied tape solves it and is un-noticeable unless you know to look for it (if you trimmed it tight it would look like matt graphics). There is a still a lairy yellow SPANK logo on the back-side of the bars so, like specializeds, you will never forget what you are riding 😀 .
it just doesn't bother me that there is white decals on the bar even more so when I'm riding and concentrating on the trail - I'd see the tape on mine and it would look ****.

Id be too distracted by the big flap of rear brake hose to see any tape 😆 Nice bike though.
Anyway, they are good bars and the OP should buy them.
its the mech hose 😛
my estimation of how much slack I needed at the bottom bracket was slightly off 🙁
Has anyone tried the Exotic Cycles carbon bars,available from 780-840mm,£59:99?

840mm 😯
Anyone who has tried them is probably still wedged between two trees out in the woods.
Knuckleball +1, can't fault them. You just have to be patient and wait till they're 30 quid.
Which could be either anytime, never, or somewhere between.
I have the Vibrocore on my HT and FS. I wanted to try some 800mm bars so removed a set of RF SixC from one bike and set of the crank bro NW is talking about from another (which if anyone wants, I'll try and remember which corner of the shed I threw them into!).
I really like the VC bars. They're a good fit for me (was a big fan o the OOZY 777 as well) and definitively take the edge off. They also feel commendably stiff for such wide bars.
I'm still a fan of the SixC but don't want to go to 35mm for 800mm versions.
I tried stooge moto bars - got one of the pre production pairs
I really like them , but only problem is I have a set on 2 of my bikes, and now I've got a 3rd bike so need to buy another set !
I've got a Stooge Moto bar on my bike too, also really like them. Just as comfortable as the carbon bars they replaced and make for much better handling imo...
I'm interested in trying a Stooge Moto bar, but are they really suited for 150-160mm full suspension type of bikes?
I know they probably are, but does anyone use one for rock gardens, black runs etc? Just curious really.
Alex - I could be keen on the Crank Bros bars depending on spec and price?
