8" rise on the low drags? 9" is the new 8". HB needs to get it together. Same with the curved down tube.

Well, Mat Wilhelm is riding a prototype signature frame with straight tubes, but it probably won't be out in 2015...

And they have 2-piece Bama bars in 30"x9"... the Low Drags are basically Hoffman's personal bars so it's the size he likes.

Is that an error on the Hoffman Low Drag Handlebar specs - only 17.9 oz? Some of the lightest bars out there are the WTP Utopia & Odyssey Gouin Bars & they're 25.6 oz & 25.2 oz. respectively.
-
that seems very light weight... I don't know.
-
Probably either 27.9 oz or 1 lb 7.9 oz (23.9 oz)
-
The other weight listed in grams gives 17.9 oz as well (507/28.35)
And I still think Hoffman are idiots for not making a 9" version

The Low Drags were made for Matt Hoffman's personal ride, so it has the specs he prefers..

he could still have his 8" version and provide a 9" version to boost sales. It's not about just having one size.

new strowler:
at least they got 2 versions out that are 19"+ TT's.
I hate that colony couldn't make the jump up to a 19" for their new joint signature frame. oh yeah that and CS dimples. foolish
