Cinelli LA84 pursuit bars or something similar
 

those LA84's are hot http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=23823
anyone know where to get a good deal on em? look like theyd be pricey.
any bullhorns out there that are similar to this style?

Nitto makes a model that is very similar to the LA84's in shape. The Cinelli is hard to find due to being out of production for a good while. You also will need to take into consideration they are 26.4 diameter at the center section, so you will need a Cinelli stem for that size as well.

if i recall correctly, bikecult NYC still has la84's on their website...i'd get a pair, but i just plain like nitto stems too much.

sidenote: i've been on the hunt for a pair of bars like this basically since the beginning of time (curved shoulders, good forward flat section) and when there was finally a pair of the 3ttt moser bars on ebay, i didn't even bid on them. why? as i sat on my living room floor surrounded by the MULTITUDE of handlebars i've bought over the last year, i realized that i still use my nitto b123s 90% of the time. steel bars just feel so much better.

that said, i think that the ultimate bullhorn of this particular sexage will be a chop/flipped nitto b127 (ergo) crmo bar. which i will attempt, and share my experience with everyone as soon as i have 60 bucks to drop on yet another set of bars.

Personnaly, I like the Nitto RB017. Nice and light due to being heat-treated aluminum, and a nice drop while retaining enough flat section to rest your hands.

American Cyclery has some of those Nitto Pursuit bars. A bit different but nice.

Yeah, that's where I got my RB017s. You've seen them, they were on the blue bike I was riding on the graffiti ride. American was only charging like $70 for them when I bought, now they want $100, at least that's what the tag said when I was in there on saturday...

I have the Cinelli LA84's, and they're okay. They're kinda flexy, and mine are way too wide (44cm). I'm waiting for the mailman to bring my Cinelli Tempo bars. Since I need something with an upward bend to emulate drops, I think the Tempo will do me better. Otherwise, they have a great bend to them, and a nice drop. Mine appear to have been cut (they're not as long as other's I've seen).

$36. Not a bad deal!

They are real long, I have an unused pair in storage. My old set was sharpened to a cone shape people would get out of the way when they saw them .. That worked only for 2 months.. DON"T TRY THIS!! LEGAL PROBLEMS!!

CEYA!

42cm? dag yo...that's like a condor's wing span for me. 36-38cm(MAX) is good for me.

yeah, 42's are a bit wide for me... usually run 40's
ill get em anyway and see how well the work out for me. if i dont like them, i can always sell them on ebay as 'rare cinelli bullhorns' and maybe make a profit :rolleyes:

sometimes the measurements can be screwy-- my first pair of bullhorns were 42's but were equal in width to my 40cm profile stokers. hopefully, it will be the same case with these.

thanks for the link, vomitron

just got mine in the mail. YOWZA! thems bar is long. its going to take a week or so for me to decide exactly where to cut them...

I told you they were really long. I will find a pic I have of what size to cut.
