some place in Jap and http://bomber-tsuruoka-rc.donzar.co.jp/topics/200906/200906.html

BLB and hopefully hubjub will probably get them in sometime

heres a normal sized image

if any one gets any cheap second hand ones when they're out, ill buy 'em of you.

at everyone who hates my post, its not mine so its not my fault its a bad picture, and i get that its a bit of a fail.

monkeymanshorn in nz has had those bars. Quite a find I reckon.

They look proper x-wing!!! (that's good btw).

i think aram needs this bike. or at least the decal set.

Arriba! Arriba! Quiero esa bici!

i love old shaft driven bikes, not sure if that is porn though... try this..

(is it just me or does it look like the dynamo front light is pointing in the riders face?

Thats a bike for Dante!

why, has he lost his marbles?

a custom Bob Jackson, not seen those before;

i for one really like wishbone(i think taht whats they're called) seatstays

whats so great about those bars?! i cant see that angling the flats can do anything other than make them very uncomfortable.

When you're on the drop, your forearms sometime get obstructed by the top part of the bar, those shape, I believe tend to eliminate such issue (it also why bar like the B123 have a long curve on the top to allowed a bit of room for the cyclists' forearm), at least that what I assumed.

while on the track of course, I'll guarantee it'll be fucking uncomfortable on the road!!

one of the geezers in the Mash film rides with them and they look nice. i wanna give em a try before i rule them out being uncomfortbable. i personally think they will be nice for people who ride with their hands on the top of the drops more (like myself)

nah still dont get it. never been a problem with my road drops, but then again i do have thin girlish arms and i dont race on the track.

surely your arms should be more level to lower your body when seated, so not touching the tops. or bent out far wide of the bar when out of the saddle. i really dont see what problem this solves.

i think its purely for looks TBH

ive only had a problem with my knees touching my elbows when in the drops, but that was on a super tight frame with a low nitto 90 stem.

but that wouldn't be solved by putting a straight bit on the tops

not sure i like the build but i do like the frame

i really like this looks fucking fast

if you cant tell by now i love Yamaguchi's

worthy of a repost

Yep, for forearm clearance during out of the saddle sprints. It is also a stiffer design because the tube length is shorter, and curves down towards the drops from the stem.

how can a bike with risers look 'fast'? if anything to me it looks slow. an upright riding position that makes you sit up like a big sail catching the wind, only it's slowing you you down not speeding you up. to go fast you need your chin on the stem, pursuit bars or drops.

short upright bikes just remind me of noddy commuter bikes because the contact points are in the same position as a too small track bike with risers.

or is it street parlance in that 'Bad' or "illin' are actually good and healthy, therefore 'fast' is actually slow so should be interpreted as a derogatory term?
so it should be "man that bike is slow" ?
next time i see a hipster twatting along beating into a headwind going nowhere fast i'll know what to shout
"Yo! your bike is Fast!"
