Haha sorry dude soon as it come up i knew i had to get it. Haven't had a chance to ride yet due to the chain problem don't want to try it till i get my other chain on. Dayem i want a set of those bars. How do you find them ? Stiffness wise.... compaired to regular alloy bars ? The bars seem really stiff i was hesitant getting them and will have to build some confidence with them but i haven't heard of anyone snapping a pair yet so hopefully its all good, they are silly light though and feel really comfortable.

Yes it is its only for show really as ive heard they break fairly easy on bmxs nevermind trials bikes.. stunning bike but that is a very weird spoke pattern on the front wheel ......... is it strong ? Never seen it before and it is a little bit flexy will know for sure when ive had a proper ride , it most likey will be getting a new build.
