Covered in whipped cream, chocolate, or both?

Have you bought them to match your pants? Is you, like... all co-ordinated, 'n shit?
close, he's an uncoordinated shit.
At least Im not a Factory team Aldi rider 😆
Lidl actually. And its not sponsorship, it was a 'prize'
[i]Lidl actually[/i]
I don't know why but I heard that said with a slightly indignant voice 🙂
It looks like Lidl made those bars.
you heard correctly wwaswas. need to rep the brand n' all!
mine were like that too. more concerned by the immense amount of flex from them and cracking at the start of the rise...
Hora, you will deffo die now if you use em.......^^

On these (new) ones it looks like its pre-crazed already (already been bloody used) at the top of the rise.
Thing is, if yours are like that - why take the risk? You wash out on a bike- fine but your bar suddenly snaps in half on a descent you have a high chance of your face/arm suddenly dropping down over that area towards the forks at speed haven't you?!
they're not on the bike anymore, just waiting to send back to crc but i'm very very lazy
Could I be the first to mention a revolutionary new material. Its called aluminium. You may want to consider it. If you look hard on CRC you may be able to find some cutting edge bars made of this strong, light and versatile material.
Just a thought

Am I sure about what? And I don't want to know about your back doors thanks 🙄
yup i just looked looked on crc and the picture on crc is better than your Bars.... send them back,, something not right there ! they are in the sale too..... bugger me looks like they sold you imperfects.
🙄
still relatively cheap tho for carbon..... i wouldnt accept the state they are in....but then thats me...when your paying = you want it perfect 😉
I thought the entire point of that version of the bars is that they look horrible?
TBH I don't think you should be buying carbon bars- reason being, you asked me about my Monkeylite DHs "have they ever been crashed". Well, if you look at a bar like that and think "Oh it's carbon, what if it's been crashed on, it might snap" then you will never be happy with the material. Almost every other carbon bar ever made is weaker, and sooner or later you'll be in a crash, will you stop trusting those too?
Quality carbon bars are strong and reliable, and you don't need to be precious about them or paranoid. But if you are, then it's not the material for you.
Its not just the dark stuff- there's wierd crazing in the kevlar as though they've actually been dragged against something before the lacquer coat. Then there are the square single sheets of carbon underneath (not like the wrap pattern you normally see on cheapo c456's- this is a single dark sheet over lighter material.
Shoddy.
i'll sell you a [b]brand [/b]new pair of easton haven CNT carbons at 711mm....?
£110 posted....?
Lecht. 99 at merlincycles
i'll still sell you mine for £110 though....
Only if it includes a pic of you and elfin naked en "soixante-neuf" (signed bien sur)
that's killed the thread.
they look exactly the same as the pic on the hotlines website.. I was dithering between a raw carbon/kevlar Carnegie and an ally one last year.. my pocket dictated that I went for the ally version the end..
after reading this thread I wish I'd shelled out the extra few quid for the carbon badboys.. they look flippin' swish..
IMO, even without that 'powder' staining or whatever it is, they look rubbish.
Hora yes brand new in box and as you have had a mishap will do for £60 posted
