Yep, I remember that now. I loved the bars, and wished my Nashbar moustache bars had the same bend. I loved the concept and ride of the bike, but the size was too small. A chance flea market find. Only XO series I have seen with my own eyes, aside from 5's at a pawn shop, and they're not the same bike at all.,,,,BD
