Who makes this flat bar?

Dude, it's a straight bar. Not that exotic.
What you're probably being impressed by is the pointy bar ends (I'm guessing that's what they are, since the photo's not sharp enough to show whether it's a one-piece deal). Anyone with access to equipment can machine something like that if it's not a product already. (If that's actually a solid piece of aluminum that's been CNC'd at the ends, it's stupid as funck.) |
Here it is.
They make cool stems too. Any one know if they have a US distributor? http://www.cycles-for-heroes.com/2008/pdf/Specials.pdf |

Man, say what you will about the name, but those guys make some of the best looking bikes around, IMO. Very clean.
And also, anyone with access to a welder can make a whole d*mn bike, doesn't mean they want to. I know I don't have a CNC machine laying around my garage. |

nevermind, i could have clicked through links better.

Not at ALL what you were asking for, but Titec used to make some crazy light bars. I know how much you like light stuff. 118 grams is pretty light, but you have to use BERT's (Bar End Reinforcement Things) if you want to use bar ends (the bar is THAT thin on the ends it will just crush the bar).
http://www.titec.com/pdmain.php?class=1&series=4&id=74 I used them in the late 90's and had no problems on an MTB bike. Pretty sure you would be fine if it is for the road. |
Hiroshima, i was just just curious about this bar because it was so unique. I don't think I'd actually get it. I like having multiple positions (and so does she.)
|
Their ad copy calls them "carscratcher" bar plugs. Weak.
|
I want one... get back with a distributor if anyone finds anything...
|
That saddle looks like a masochist's dream
|
I liked the ***** bars better.
Anyone else? |
What ***** bar? The ***** looking bar wrap? If not.... pix!
|
|
I'd actually rock that to my office. imagine me in a suit/business casual, cuffed rolled and showing up to work on my brakeless ***** bike. I would love to see the reaction of my square coworkers.
