Mid school flatland riders used to do this to their bars
Quote from: GavinDavis on February 06, 2014, 09:42 PMMid school flatland riders used to do this to their bars Is there a market for them now?Too good to throw away, I was thinking of making some kind of display stand out of a load of handle bars and frames
That's what pissed me off about Mid-school. Intentionally making things look crap. Not because you needed too, but because you could.
Did you get them cut down Q's via Alex? Seem to remember him showing us a pic with some cut-downs.
It was done to lower the front end beyond what could be done with conventional parts. Jesse Puente was the first guy to do this (as seen in pic below). This modification later led him to designing a signature set of bars for Graveyard which were based on the geometry of the cut down Q bars.
