Who makes this handlebar?
K. So I bought this a while back.
Now its just sitting around getting dusty.
Fizik tape, Thompson stem, but I cant figure out who makes this handlebar.
Also I thought there was a plug at the end of the bar. Like a spike plug but I think it may be a part of it. Either that or its Really shoved in there.
Regardless. Who makes this. and what the hell is the point of the end bar like that?
Thanks

I don't think they are bar ends... I think they're integrated into the bar. Notice the tape is cut at the end, instead of being tucked under the bar end.

I think that's it. So it is art of the bar. This thing Is wicked mean without the bar tape.
Wow. Didn't realize I had a discontinued model. Pretty cool.

Doesn't need to but you do want to slay in style am I right?
Heck a wooden stake would do the trick as long as it's to the heart of the monster.
We can call these handle bars stake bars just like how we call nitto's flats dild0 bars.

Won't be able to make the ride. I'll be doing the mesquite ride that day. Doing the 100k ride. Prob going to be exhausted. Never done a fixed 100k ride before.
But it sounds like fun.
