  • Do you know the reason why theyre either upset or taking the piss?

    AFAIK - The simple answer is that wood bars are unsafe. Wood tends to break suddenly, while metal fatigues and bends (Mostly). Last thing a cyclist wants is their bars to give without warning.

    Plus its something that isnt new. Its been tried. It hasnt worked.

    But good luck with your sale.

    wooden handlebars can and have worked, BUT it looks like these ones are just a teak broom handle with no lamination and i can speak as beta tester for wooden handlebars that this technique won't work - don't do it unless you love pain and possible death, as an educated forum we should recommend these are for display purposes only and don't risk anyone riding them with the possibility of failure. soz dude, it's just not responsible given the history

    if you still want some though a quick google shows these which look pretty good
