Those gas pipe bars definitely play well with the frame and forks.

Yeah, I'm liking these bars so far. Still not sure if they would be up or down.

I normally prefer bike tanks inside the frames, but holy cow, that tank next to the nanner looks AWESOME! I think it's got potential!

I like the option of the nanner as a possibility.
The tank flows extremely well into the nanner, but I'm just not sold on using the tank for this build.

Nice that you got the tire issue resolved with the simple non-invasive method. Bars look cool down but might not be real comfy. They’re cool. Love that Flexliner. Really awesome build that one.

My workshop is such a mess, I always have to take time to unpack and semi sort things during each build off just so I can find the goodies I want to consider for my current build.

One of the parts I have in my this year are the custom bars that Tomas @OddBall Cichecki (OCD Connection) gave me when I spent the day with him in London back in 2022. He made these from gas pipe years ago.

We'll see how they play with the build. This old bmx stem is the first one I found that would work. This fork has a frozen slug halfway down the steertube, so this is as low as it can go for now.

It's funny you should mention bighit. Oddball's inspiration for these bars were the pipe bars that bighit did on his Bully build.
Fun fact: This is the frame that I turned into SteamRoller for BO15
