Title: mid school bar ID?
Post by: darkersomeday on July 16, 2007, 06:59 PM: these came on the old standard 125 i got last week,

i thought initially they could be standard strips as everything else on the bike was standard,

after looking through a few old catalogues i'm not so sure,

the crossbar is fatter than the rest of the bar, they could be Solid "turn bars" but the shape looks different,

thanks in advance for any idea's :daumenhoch:

Post by: YGT on July 17, 2007, 10:04 AM: I say its a solid bikes bar.

when I was the disributor for standard, we saw a lot of different shaped 2pc strip bars with even different widths etc.
Also concidering the bar is raw and not painted, I doubt this is a GT bar ..... how many midschool products do you remeber GT making not in chrome.

Post by: easyroller on July 22, 2007, 09:56 PM: I am no help in this area,sorry, just wondered if my eyes were playing tricks on me, or is the right hand side knurling considerably deeper and broader?( our right hand side ,left side on actual bars).

Post by: TwoBobRob on July 26, 2007, 09:51 PM: The Solid bars had a 1" crossbar. The factory that made them also made 2 others brands of identical bars, you could identify them by crossbar size and knurling, or lack of. I can't for the life of me remember the names though, sorry.

If those bars have a genuine 1" crossbar, then I'd say Solid. I don't recall another bar with that size crossbar. :)

Post by: the_cyclops on July 26, 2007, 10:23 PM: Might they be Xposure bars?

I remember them having a very low crossbar and severe knurling to them...........I think I still have a set of Xposures somewhere, maybe I should have a look!
