Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Whisky Parts Co. Drop Bars?

Hey so i came across a listing for some carbon drop bars made by a company called Whisky Parts. Never heard of them before, looks like they mainly do MTN bike and CX stuff, but couldnt find much on the drop bars on their site. They are the right drop/size for me and apparently weigh in at 191 grams, so they have caught my interest.

Anybody have any experience with them?

I haven't personally bought any of their products but they've been around a while. I know they make some of the best rigid carbon forks available for mtb's and cross bikes. If I found a deal on a product that looked promising from them I'd take a chance on it.

They're a QBP company and, as mentioned, have a good rep for forks in particular. If the size, shape, weight and price is right, I wouldn't have any hesitations.

Well awesome, thanks guys!

Just picked up the drop bars that look to be in great shape for $50, pretty happy with that.
