Mongoose dosent mean anything. They make some very nice high end completes. Just buy some new bars. Pretty much anything out now is good, have a look on one of the online mail orders or check your shop and just pick a pair out. Make sure they are 100% chromoly, and it's also best if they are heat treated too.

Haro Slims are pretty decently cheap, but they aren't too bad.

Those are 4 piece bars. Unless you ride Flatland, 4 piece bars are gross.

Mine never bent, but then i got some S&M bars becuase they were a bit wider.

I would look at S&M and Odyssey bars, they both have good warrantys and are fairly cheap.
I have the S&M Mediums now, and the only thing i dont like about them is that they are too narrow for my likes.

Hahahaha. Fly bars are good though. My friend got the new shadow bars and they are pretty nice... except they are pretty long.
