fugly. Azonic and Answer make the sickest rizers.

i hope these become very popular, then maybe nitto's price will drop to $25. pair

rudetay 08-07-08 02:34 PM

Why not make them wider from the start and then let the users cut them down like everyone else that makes flat and riser bars does? Making them that narrow just means that only traffic bustin' fixed gear riders will want them.

+1. Let us brake-users decide the width.

Sweet as! Ugly bars with a low function standard to go with poorly functioning bike lights. Nice. They look great on that bicycle in the picture.

This is like a bad dream. The negative drop stem with deep drop handlebars has gone full circle. An adjustable rising stem with the 3" rise version of these bars would be perfect for any recumbent rider.

"Making them that narrow just means that only traffic bustin' fixed gear riders will want them." Umm, nobody that rides a good distance at any decent speed will want these. They'll be purchased by the "going out to the bar on a 1.2 mile ride with my Concept" riders.

If i wasnt so dead set against removable face plate stems I would be interested in these with the 2 inch rise, but a 1 or 1.5 inch rise would be better. They are very 1996 bmxish.

harrier 08-07-08 03:21 PM

Looks like an ugly way to get your bars higher than the stem would allow. Why not raise the stem and get a nice flat bar?

that sounds crazy to me. I run 8" bars and love every inch.

What is the bar clamp size?

_hollister_ 08-07-08 03:52 PM

Cut the bottom flange at a 30deg angle to trim weight and look a little less... old school bmx.

What is the wall thickness? Go thin wall and heat treat them and you'd have buyers since you can advertise the weight without being embarrassed. Maybe go smaller OD on the down tubes and pierce the flatbar and clamp tube...

Maybe try a J type bar if you need funk.

Basically you reinvented scerbo bars.

sential 08-07-08 04:50 PM

ugly. ugly. ugly.

might as well just put some bmx handlebars on.

jet sanchEz 08-07-08 04:52 PM

Not my thing but I hope you can cash in on the craze, $40 at a time. Good luck.

Wow. I've been trying to be less of a hater lately, but come on. You can't taunt me like this. That's officially the ugliest bike I've ever seen, tarck or no.

*****astistic! Uglificasmorama!

beeftech 08-07-08 06:06 PM

I think you should advertise them installed upside down, and call them "downers"... A new craze, and you may get some drop bar riders to convert.

jimisnowhere 08-07-08 06:21 PM

Will TT brake lever fit in the inner opening?

nowheels 08-07-08 06:25 PM

I'm not feeling the love........

Is that a jingle they play for you during your American Apparel "shopping sprees"?

juggleaddict 08-07-08 10:39 PM

no no no, guys you've got it all wrong, those are upside down in your pictures, they're drops, not risers. . . .

hA! that'd be fun to ride actually . . . though i'm not sure you'd want to do it outside. better stick to the trainer with those ; )

besides, somebody would accuse you of being a "hipster" if you reversed them for practicality :P

juggleaddict 08-07-08 10:42 PM

oooooo, better yet, straight stem with those straight out functioning as a stem. . . .

u.u i'm going to he** for that suggestion
