Freshtripe Risers

I'm not sure what these are called all I know is they do them on www.freshstripe.co.uk . I remember someone posting them on here a while back either selling or had just bought a pair, just wondering if anyone knows where else sells them (freshstripe is out of stock) also what are they like to ride. I think I like the look of them only problem they look quite flat and I prefer bars with a bit of sweep, can'r really tell from the picture and have no idea what to type in a search!

Cheers,
Nick.

these.

there they are raw.

I honestly stopped buying stuff from Freshtripe because their navigation thing was a real pain in the arse.

You have to go through a frankly twee and ridiculous convoluted search process which makes finding something like a set of chain ring bolts a tedious process. "Should I look in 'round bits' or should I look in 'shiny bits' ? - No, I will look on wiggle.com.

That's a lot of money for five bits of pipe crudely welded together

i think dogsballs had a pair once......

Hence the name 'dogsballs'.

A massive +1. The first time i went on the website I thought it was a bit gimmicky and then ever since I thought it was a waste of time

Some one had a pair on a charge plug freestyler in the OTP bike thread or "freestyler we love her so"

I bought a pair of the raw ones a while ago for a mad max type rust bucket bike I'm still planning - they have a tiny bit of sweep (you can see it in the picture... see how the middle is slightly 'lifted up')

I seriously could not agree more. I've even emailed them to say how utterly infuriating it is but to no avail.

Yea i see that now,tbh i think they might feel a bit rigid, as apposed to curvier bar, have you ever ridden yours?

they are ugly and look really heavy. IMO

gusset open prison bars, just been bought.

probably a bit tricky since all they did is use those awful Apple software called iWeb.

really suck on a slighty slow connection.

i have a pair in black, alrite for a slow meander but if i got any speed i felt like they where just too short

Yea they do look quite short actually, which would have made it pointless buying these as I wanted wider bars. I think the open prison bars will be just right.

they are 38cm wide stock
really narrow

Don't know about them bars (wouldn't fancy it myself) but just wanted to comment on freshtripe given they are getting some stick here, I used them a couple of times recently -regardless of their different style of product classification I found stuff I wanted there that I had not found elsewhere, And at a decent price. I bought it, they shipped it, I received it, no gripes. When I had questions the proprietor jamie younger responded quickly , helpfully and appropriately.

Their website is still pooh. If they improved that they may be able to use their excellent customer service skills on a few more punters...

I'm after some of these in black. Freshtripe don't appear to still have them available. Anyone got any?
