custom bars

[hickbasket]

Wondering why you would pay 60-70 bucks for bars when you can make them real easy. I got a 17 inch copper bar for free leftover from my redone bathroom. I picked up a couple of bolts at the hardware store, drilled the wholes, and had my bars. They are so sweet and i only paid about 2 bucks.

because some people would want legitly welded solid bars that wont break when u whip a 3stair. apose to either crappy welded bars or bars with a few bolts in them. the people that can actually tig weld there bars dont ride bars that they buy they ride there own.

They're heavy but I imagine strong as hell. The crossbar goes straight through the main tube and the wall thickness on the cross bar is crazy. I probably could have gone thinned but hell, I'm no huge weight freak. Hopefully my french id forks will make up for some of the added weight.

There is so much wrong with your argument. A) copper is weak as shit. I hope you die when they snap =] Go do some stairs and see what you get impaled by. B) Because custom bars are properly welded, powder coated, can be made to my size, and ARE TRIED AND TESTED.

End of the day $70 is cheap, your winging about nothing, have fun with your bathroom bars.

Making copper bars is retarded, the stuff not designed for structural use. Not to mention when it does snap it's not pretty.

Jeez, you guys sure shitted all over me. Well, I've been riding these bars for a coupla weeks and their still real solid. Maybe you just suck at making custom bars. I tell you when they break, but that will probably be NEVER!!!
