Author Topic: Bars for my Redline ? (Read 1645 times)

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **on:** December 19, 2012, 01:14 AM »

Just trying to work out the bars for my redline 600a

going to use a redline fork lifter copy stem - so that puts the reach up a bit

so a set of win V bars

or a set of CW pro bars

The CW's are nice and light, but will the stem and the height of the bars make it a strange geometry for me being 5'7"
or will the win bars loose the race feel of the frame ? my Pro burner has the win bars and feels dialed, so will the redline frame feel the same

just stuck which bars and way to go

$:-\$ some times you just gotta see which way others would take it

cheers B

i can see them turning out to be a bit pricey at the end of the sale

no one has said either one ? strange as i know you lot - and you don't usually hold back

real crazy suggestion.... fit the cw's then ride it. Then fit the V bars, then ride it. see which you prefer, and keep that option

In the process of doing my 600a at the minute and also in a dilemma over the bars and stem.
Want v-bars and a brute stem but have neither.
