I rode Redline Forklifter's as my 1st name brand bars and kneesavers's after that "bitd". I just hate the look of big street bars, and I was thinkin about the Mattias thing but didn't want to throw it out there even though I believe that's why lots of people on here are buying them.I do wish that modern kneesaver designs had better backsweep options. I like the Chase barsbut I'm leary of the upsweep, and when dropping big $$$ you really want to feel confident about the purchase.
all i have to say about this topic is : im gonna get me 2pc bars (custom made with specs. i want) just cause i like the way they look. and i love to ride a bmx bike not some strange thing wich looks like some sort of bmx, but its all bended and sh*t.
isnt everything trendy at one piont?
Some of my bikes have 2 pc and some are 4 pc. I like both for diff reasons.Tod ,was right though,all we used to have was 2 pc,then Redline and Haro came along.Kato,I agree with 1/2 of your post too. Ride what ya like,forget all this "trend" crap ,do what you want.IT'S FREESTYLE!!!!
I think the real question is why does flatland need 8-pc bars etc. Speaking of Matthias look at the switches he and Micheal Sommer do on the front wheel with some street bars too me that just throw the whole "you need more room " idea out the window. why pay double the money for bars that have similiar geometry to street bars when you can't even utilize the flatland design in your riding.
