Hi Voodoo,here is my Chase bar from the backside (sorry, the picture was taken in my basement without daylight, not so good this time) and my London Bikes bar for information.Sorry, I won't sell the OG bar, I like it too much. I know many riders do not understand that so well, but I have some parts that I don't even plan to use but more to collect. I bought it directly from Marton, maybe he has some left...By the way: I mailed Odyssey some weeks ago about the Chase bar and the guy could not tell me exactly. He mentioned that only the wallthickness was changed so one could not see it from outside, but I also doubt that. At Flatlandfuel for example it was mentioned that the bending radius of the support tube (leading to the grip tube area) was changed in the area where the cross bar is welded onto it. He said maybe Pat could clarify, but I didn't ask him yet.What do you think?
Of course it would be better if it was V2, but to be honest: I do not know if I will ride it at all. I always liked the design and now I have it on my wall and enjoy it. Maybe I put it on one of my "spare bikes" to test, let's see. So it is not a big deal that it is V1.So did I understand correctly: You say the support tubes (connecting crossbar area to grip tubes) are steeper for the V2, right? Because of less radius in the bend.And V2 typically have the 41 Thermal sticker in white?The only thing that is not so plausible for me is that I thought I could distinguish a sharper bend of the support tube in the crossbar area for the V1 like I would say one can see in the first picture that I posted in this thread (picture from chainreaction). In the picture from flatlandfuel the bend looks less sharp and I would say mine looks like that.Do you know what I mean?
Hi Voodoo, the numer is on the right grip tube about 1 cm from the end.
