I am looking for a set of bullhorn bars for around $30 shipped. As usual, I checked ebay first and found a few sets. I am just wondering if there are any websites that have some for around $30 shipped? Anyone have a cheaper pair that they can give any info on? I am most concerned about the bars flexing since I am a bigger guy (200 lbs).

Thanks in advance.

Thank you sir. I forgot to mention that I am not looking for ones that have the indentation for the brake cable, as I will be running a cross lever.

That shouldn't matter cause your bars will be wrapped anyways, hopefully that is, and it doesn't change the bars structural integrity even for us big guys.

I got these a few days ago

They're basically the Nashbar bullhorns and they're very nice quality at a good price. That seller got them to me in 2 business days too.

I agree, take some old road bars and just saw them off and flip them over. I think that they look better than prefab bullhorns and they are also much cheaper...

I just bought these and I love them. Only $12 too. They do have the indent/hole for the brake cable though if you don't want that. I doesn't really matter because when they're taped up anyway it's barely noticeable. I love mine. Get yours before he sells out.

That's the time-honored way of doing it.

yes...i bought one from him last time. when it arrived, i was surprised that it was syntace...so i went back and ordered a couple more. GREAT DEAL!
last time i emailed him about how many he had. he said about 40. this was in fact 2-3 weeks ago...so im sure his supply is much smaller.

Although the pics on chuck's bikes don't show the syntace logos on the bars, when I got mine they were on there just like these:

I wish I could order from Chucks Bikes, but my billing address is different from my shipping address. According to the website, he will only ship to billing addresses.

That's pretty bizarre, considering I just had a shipment from him sent to my shipping address at school which is NOT my billing address.... maybe he's just made that decision recently?

That could be. I just e-mailed him to ask if he could make an exception. $12 for those bars is a steal!
