Redline V bar question...

[funkyfresh]

Anybody know what rise the Microline bars were? and also the bigger version?

Well I still have some for sale and they are 8.5 inches rise, I reckon thats as big as they get.

Microline V - smaller
Proline V = bigger

Not a great deal difference in height , it's all about width !

micros  - 23" x 8"
prolines- 26" x 9"

sizes are quoted from bmx buyers guide in the BMXaction magazine October 1982

Are they? I thought they were only 8" rise? If they are Prolines, then I'm still intested...
Thanks to all, BTW, interesting reading..


Bet you cant guess what they are for, Matt?

The Prolines got wider over the years , I've got some 28 inches wide 

And in a 1984 PL20 test they list them as 27 and a quarter inches .

Not wanting to confuse anyone ! 

Cool bars whatever size 

Martin , yes I know why you're sniffin'

Matt, does your 28" set have "redline" etched into them on the right hand side an inch or so under the crossbar?

[gt0733]

pictures speak a thousand words 

first are the micros. the etching is on the L/H side just under the crossbar.






second are the prolines, later to the micros as they have a different font etched an inch or so on the R/H side under the crossbar





and last are the 28" bars but i'm not sure that they are redline as there is no etching. these may well be "procraft".
