Nice, love it.

Is that a fly or a FAF front tire?

How are the berringer bars? Im thinking of getting a set but the upsweep is way more than any other bars. How do they ride? Im tempted by them cos they are already 27" wide, and cos Berringer is way cool!

Nice dude....

Was it deliberate that you've got someone airing in the background?

Ah man, I had one of those, I loved it. Really heavy frame by todays standards, but I loved it. Mine was blue. I love the fact you have all that stuff from the time too, including the Northern Jon front wheel! [ it's an Araya Aero!] You can show that to the man himself on Old Fools... plus that stem... that's one of his too!

Beringer bars are my fave. First got some about 2001, spot on in every way for me. I have them on all of my regular rides (4 sets!!)
Slams just seem too flat, and almost downswept in comparison. Not much else out there has the 4 degrees upsweep of beringer bars, combined with the height. Try some alex, if you buy some and don't get on with them, I'll take them off your hands!!

Yeah, thats EXACTLY what I think. It might be cos bars are further back now, but Slams seem to droop down. I think NS riding style is all over the back wheel, where as I still ride over the front end.

You sold it to me, Im gunna get Berringer bars!
