Some Bars I made yesterday

[poverty with a view]

So I needed a new look for the Sacramento Cyclefest Bike show coming up next month on the 17th. So I decided to make some new bars. Here is what I came up with. I hope you all like them. What I like about these bars is I can make them fatter, taller, basically any size I like or you like. For the right price. I will Tig weld them for a nice small and clean weld. Blue

The Bars came to 19" tall

Thanks WINGMAN! I used a hole saw and my drill press to do the fishmouths. Orientating everything ws easy as the bars are flat so tacking them up was cake. I had two jigs I used to cut the tubes.About four hours to make and an hour to grind down the welds. You will see them tomorrow at the second Saturday ride. Blue loves green. Pedal on my friend. People know me as Blue or as Tahoe. :lol:
