Sorry but so not a bargain - I wouldn't run bars that narrow even if they paid me to run them

Hmm. Only two hits for Mr xcxvxcxv.
I think he's a nudist! :fear:

Hahhaha.... Thank gooodness for antivirus family settings.

 

[kwikee]

Well, all is can say is there was only one goat involved.

:llama:

Fixed it for you.

Who rides such narrow bars? You hobbit chunts. :tsk:

Depends what your using them for, got a set for the Mrs XC bike, plenty wide for he XS frame. Also got a spare set for me just incase I decide to build a commuter or something, but no for serious AM riding, I find them to narrow, 750 is where its at for me.

Agreed. For serious AM I have 740mm fatbar lites. For a lightweight 29er they make sense, particularly around Canberra where both Bruce ridge and Sparrow hill have numerous trees slowly being de-barked by people riding wider bars.

Yes, but they call it an AM bar..

The Haven Carbon is the crown jewel of our All Mountain handlebar line.

my xc bike wouldn't touch anything that narrow :tsk:

 

[Mywifesirrational]

Yes, but they call it an AM bar..

Wonder what their XC bar wieghs, just looked it up 135g vs 175g on these carbons.

I presume their selling them cheap because a new carbon haven 740mm / 200g version has/is just been released.

yeah but to be reasonable your 'XC' bike would suit most people for AM duties.

Yep, a hundred bucks for an extra inch! Seems like a bargain when you put it like that - if you need that extra inche anyway

Oh, it is on CRC, 120 more... but it comes in three colour options, just not on crc.

Which is still too narrow.... haha

Well MYI, too obscure for me - all I can think of , is "I love shopping " or something

 

[Nerdbox]

Very obscure - all I can think of , is I love shopping or something
