Does anyone have any experience with these here Synchros Gain Bars [url= http://www.stif.co.uk/mtb/product/gain-carbon-riser-bars/8973 ]linky[/url]?
I've got Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket and this looks like a bit if a good deal.

They're bars, carbon and mine havent broken yet - so good I would say. Weight, width etc you can read for yourself and work out if you like.

Santa Cruz were shipping the Blur LT with these in 2009, so not considered out of place on a £3+ bike

I've got one of them, and it's very nice. probably the nicest looking carbon bar I've seen actually.

Good shape and rise too.

On wife's bike now though as, yes, I decided it was a bit narrow for me in the end.

If you want a 660mm bar it's v good at that price though.

I'm currently using Bontrager Race Lite bars and they're 630mm wide. The only minor gripe I have with them is that I can't get the controls in far enough. I'm hoping that wee bit extra width will help.

I think I'm going to buy them. Now then, what 27.2mm inline CF seat post to complete the theme.
