'cept they totally copied sacha's steez.

so i'm pretty much convinced every modern aero bike is just inspired by homeboy....

those are hot... there was a disagreement about this in that vanilla thread.

why is everything new so ****ing ugly?

I personally like it.... looks pretty darn $$$$ though! And nobody can tell you to "flip it"... that alone might be worth it.

Question of life!

And I think Sacha's a ****ing genius, but even he will tell you how old intergrated bars are. Not his idea.

Not sure if I'm all that crazy about this one, but thought I'd toss it out there for another alternative...
Reminds me of something from one of the Batman movies.

there was sarcasm intended with the steez bit.

i would think it obvious that a high end integrated bar came out before this fall.

sacha's = hotness

these carbon ones = *gag*

Gorgeous. Looks so alien and simple.

There is a nicer set of Calfees connected to teh Easton track bars... Simple and effective.

Which one is Sacha's, the picture on the right? He made it? I must be missing something, can someone link the thread?

It looks like the thread was eaten by the server problems (or whatever that was) that happened a while back.

Integrated carbon (or otherwise) bars/stems are nothing new. I like them, but it's not news.

Pic on left = back view of a killer whale.

Yes. Also, these are dope and super-old.

I love you Aeroplane, but the 1980's is not super old!:rolleyes:


Mikhael Pedersen designed his integralters in the 1880's. Now that's old.

aeroplane, is that a very old stumpjumper?

Yes it is.

I should have known that Serendipper would never find it "really old", he doesn't think things are old unless they predated the vacuum tube.

It's good to be 165 years old!

Besides, everybody copied the Egyptians. Integrated bridle/belt for hands free operation. Radial laced gold deep-V's with insanely low spoke count, aero TT helmet, pop-ups, and of course....dudes wearing eyeliner.

And you people think you're "trendy". Heh. You have no idea just how trendy you are...

Nothing new under the sun.

Speaking of which - this guy's stuff out of BC is pretty damn hot. Makes your boards bike look like an animal.

plus they're steel. which is genetically superior to carbon.

I'd totally rock those if my left and right hand were switched, eek!

Prefer the tops too much for climbing, sadly.

yeah, not the idea, the execution. sacha's were dope.
