Apparantley I have had a touch
« on: September 03, 2007, 06:00 PM »
got sent this on the bay

Hi there. I saw you recently bought a set of VDC handle bars. I'm very sure you know what these are concidering you give $190 for them. But I wanted to let you know there are only 3 pair of these known to be made by VDC. The last pair on ebay had an ending bid of $700 and didn't meet the reserve bid. I talked to the seller and he said the chrome wasn't perfect on these but they are still a very very impossible set of bars to find. If you have time and aren't a member yet check out BMXMUSEUM.com (its free) and click on the V in the upper left hand corner you can contact Voris Dixon directly and get the scoop on them. MIKE

I am guessing it is the particular size that is rare cause fish n craig have at least 3 sets between em  :angel:  So should I get them re-chromed as was my original wont or should they be left as is?

Got any pics you'd care to share?  Be interested to know what the fook they look like to deserve the "only 3 pair of these known to be made by VDC" claim  :LolLolLolLol:

Will get some better pic's when they land basically they are monkey bars but they have a 10 and a half inch rise which is what allegedly makes them so rare ???

They do look big, my wife thought they were two feet high but what does she know  :D

I thought they made a quite large Pro sized bar, I'm sure I've got an ad somewhere - but I could be wrong  :LolLolLolLol:

Best put a flashing light on em if you go out with en on a bike in poor visibility, and also look out for any 737's flying strangely low and eratically in your direction.

I think the guy ( Mike maybe ? ) is getting mixed up with the 7 inchers being the rare ones ? ( sometimes referred to as cruiser bars ) .

There were only 4 or so sets of those made allegedly .

Pity I never knew how rare they were when they were mine  :(
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
