They are only handlebars. Some people have more money than sense

theRuler · « **Reply #2 on:** April 20, 2006, 04:15 PM »

wow. expensive bars!

Jazzchimp · « **Reply #3 on:** April 20, 2006, 04:25 PM »

I'd expect Greg himself to hand deliver them at that price!

And then install them and teach me how to ride.

Hi all

Come on, if you need the item to finish a build, F&F look great, but fully built bikes look better and they are always going to be worth money, they are top bars.

There is also some good reading on OS BMX about the bars and it would be great if they do come to the UK.

It reminds me of numerous posts a while back about the increasing prices and it sure won't be stopping soon.

Great investment is OS BMX and tax free too

hi greentoad , totally agree with you , ive enjoyed reading the posts on os bmx for the last few months, i too have paid top money for items , well i just had to have, whether its a good investment or not only time will tell,

the funny thing is ive got my e sniper set for the last minute on these bars and then im going to put straight back on the bay

Hope they checked the shipping cost that guy just tried to charge me $27 for shipping one magazine.

Jazzchimp · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2006, 07:16 PM »

must say though, I've bought from this guy before and his stuff is the cleanest i've seen

theRuler · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2006, 08:25 PM »

makes me wish i didnt cut my set of star bars up to make layback seatposts the other month.

Nosnod · « **Reply #13 on:** April 20, 2006, 09:06 PM »

Interesting to see how far they will go with the bidding. We all know how long they have both been waiting for a pair!
Prices are starting to go crazy, but we all know that if you need that one piece to finish a build then all common sense tends to go out of the window!

didn't a member on this site sell some jmc bars for over £400?

Bren Gunn · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2006, 09:30 PM »

It only takes two people bidding against each other, that have what seems to be bottomless bags of cash to drive the price of an item through the roof. Good luck ladds

Funny, this GHP lark... I got a full bike... 83 pro for £140 last year on ebay in the UK, and the year before that I bought a used GHP Pro I frame & fork set from Biagio for £50... I got outbid on ebay at £50 by £1 when I first started collecting... on a NOS GHP pro in Germany

it sold for £51.00

NOS GHP forks £90 last year...

GHP starbars... got any going cheap I need a set

I agree.Ghp is one of the few that you can still buy new.I suppose these have 'knurling' but its under the stem so who cares.Well spotted that man.

Still,if you want them go get them,its only a bit of fun(Expensive fun!!!

it's a bit dissapointing that a huge price is gonna be paid for a pair of over rated bars and yet another bog standard (i assume) greg hill replica is gonna be built at the end of this. Cant some one do something a little different with a geezee for a change

Yes, and I purchased them, but as there were only about 50 sets of JMC AP bars made, I was more then happy as I needed them to complete my AP build !

Its a crazy hobby for sure "!
