just think about how tough you'd look riding one of these down the street, although i would hate to know how bad your back would hurt. talk about drop bars!

Damn!...Why don't you just put a set of BMX pegs on your front wheel and steer with those.

yeah, that thing is crazy. i don't know where rossin frames are made, but it looks like these frames made by a russian frame designer in the 80s. that bar set up was banned apparently. i imagine a few people were impaled by the headset. its crazy as hell though.

Yea, the big guy in the sky called them "handle bars" for a reason, not "fork bars."

It looks like a slight, but important, difference between the one on eBay and the pics on bikecult is the headset. The pics on bikecult (for the most part) don't seem to have a nub/headset like part poking up.

Chris Boardman used fork bars to great effect in the post-Lotus monocoque years. But the Aussie Superbike bars are still the most gorgeous aero bars ever made.

I dunno about the bikes in those pics, but those campy discs are pretty hot.
