So pleased they are making a bigger comeback. I just got the Sputnic 8.25 rise ones, so nice. Will post pics tomorrow.

Which of you lot are going to convert back to 4pc?

I ran Castillo's up until about 3 years ago, I'm still getting used to these 2 piece things!

Currently running Wethepeople 4-piece Everlites (the ones with the Vee cross-bar).

The Sputnic are sweet - nice interesting crossbar. Lots of cool colours too.

Also check out the Federal 20/20 4 Piece too - yum yum!

t'was a joke Ian...as far as i know Dave has no plans for a ramp in his unit...he's too busy to ride.

Just sold some mid school 4 piece bars this week. I loved them for the looks but with them being mid school they didn't ride very well on a new school frame with them having very little back sweep, if any at all. Plus they were mid school weight which as we all know was 'kin' heavy!

I reckon I might get some new ones in the summer, we shall see.

Daz.

JT71 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2009, 07:02 PM »

wicked bars, look great on mr Steev B.

Dave tell us more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PaulM · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2009, 07:42 PM »

I was only just thinking about this the day, I really liked the shape of the mid school kneesavers (that used to come with the Haro Blammo's) and the early type Hoffman Love Bars. All the 4 piece versions that is without the extra gussets etc.

And as chris said they should really come in close towards the stem and have a low crossbar the the hole is nice and small..........

Cheers

Paul

nope, you're right.

they were called kneesavers for a reason.

and all bars should feel the same-ish, just look different. how can you 'get used to' bars with extra tubes. christ sake.

Although my comments were expressed with tongue firmly in cheek dude

when I did change from 4 - 2 piece it was very different as they were about 3/4" higher, 2" wider, with twice the degree of bend back & about a Lb lighter! I'm sure that these days you could swap out your bars with impunity pretty much as everything is more or less the same now - BIG!

I have ridden bikes with bars that just 'felt wrong' in the past too...

Steve Shindig · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2009, 02:16 PM »

F*ck 4pc, they're off already.... they feel like crap and make my bike feel heavy. Like the look of them still though!
