Polo Bikes

Easy choice being to make your own for less than £30 and have better braking performance using the design used for my dual brake and Max's.

The only machining is x3 5mm holes to drill so pretty simple.

I will have some for sale soon

anyone got a flat 25.4 bar hanging around?

polo trend! i'm loving mine.

there is a seller on ebay selling flat bars alloy 7075 for £6.99, slight back sweep. feels nice.

Josh can you get two and I will buy the other one off you, wan't one for my commuter.

I've been thinking about going flat for ages, i've heard nothing but good reviews.

Another cheap option:

Although, if they're a trend...
What's the advantage?

I have some uncut Gusset 3" rise Chrome bars available. Mint come

ew, mint come.
What is the advantage of flat snopps? Why does it feel better?

Snoops can I see those bars?

it just changes your position, just changing the rise on your stem/bars. Personal preference.

I found that setting the stem higher and using a flat bar (rather than low stem + risers) made it easier to run narrow bars without having to faff about setting up a brake lever on the bend.

^ this too, the reason i changed to flat bars was to have more room on the bars for the Alfine's grip shift

Yes todd.

Main reason I wanted flat was to be able to run the lever with full extension to improve braking. As a result my front end is lower, but that's something I had been meaning to try for a while.

how wide are you running them snoops?

Like menace.

You want my inseam as well chan?

the curve on my risers is puttin my hand in an aqward position. that is all.
(risers defintley look nicer)

Yep. £5

I have some un-chopped if anyone wants.
