I know there was a trend for majorly cut down bars for mid school flatland bikes... but were mid school bar widths generally shorter than old school? and what size?
i remember seeing riders with bars cut down so much they held onto the bend and the lever was below the crossbar,

It was his King in a bike test in RIde. He had 2 brake levers, Both below the cross bar. His bars were cut down so much that the grip flanges were touching the crossbar. RAD!!!!I think the powerlite bars i have in my shed are under 20" wide. They werent mine, i always rode 26"ish wide. Ive only just moved up to 27" haha
This the One You mean Alex?
One of My fave riders, ever
I saw him at Corby the other week. He's not been riding lately but I made him promise to come to Skaterham for a vert session sometime. hopefully we'll see him soon He remains the only rider I've ever seen shut an entire skatepark down. Every rider, skater and binliner all stood still while he rode. Leigh on Sea, late-ish 90s. Ruler.
