I've heard that you can do barspins with BMX bikes. You might want to look into that.

My 61cm Windsor The Hour had enough DT clearance for barspins but I don't know about smaller sizes. Bar spins get old. I wouldn't advise spending too much time or money on it.

I know that the larger IRO Angus can be bar-spun... so can the Pista Concepts.

That's it, off the top of my head.

I try to stay as far away from barspins as i can. It sounds like a recipe for getting ****ed up.

why do you guys post the same **** over and over again? just read the ****ing site, you'll get all the info you need. it's like you want to be crucified just so you can claim ownership of something. you want to barspin, then ****ing barspin. it's obvious what you need to do it, so just go get it and go do it. stop asking stupid questions. posting on a website about barspins doesn't = barspins

The IRO's need pretty small tires (like, maybe smaller than 23's) to Bar-spin, the Concept's need 650 fronts.
