To fund my next project, I'm offering these wooden bars for sale. (Bike not included)
I made them myself from 8 plys of laminated ash and have been riding them regularly for about a year. Ash is the same timber that cricket bats are made from, and the laminated construction makes for a strong bar.
These are very light (it will surprise you) and have a wonderful grain. They also feel amazing in the hands and being made of wood, are fantastic at absorbing vibration.
The bars are in great condition with some minor marks from the stem and levers. These can be sanded out if so desired, but I see no need for this. The ends of the bars have not suffered any crash damage and the laminate is still strong with no splintering or other damage. The bars have been finished with linseed oil and will benefit from an extra coat every now and again, especially in winter. If you were wondering, linseed oil is very easy and inexpensive to come by!
Because of the time invested in these, I'm looking for serious offers around £70. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Nick
