i am in the process of all the businessy part and it will take a couple weeks to have my paypall and bank account shit all set up where i can ship stuff out and take payments. but when it is all done i will be able to ship to australia :) or anywhere. and will also have a little store on the site and maybe even set up an ebay store too to get more customers. im really excited to finally get started on selling scooter parts. im guessing a couple weeks i will be able to do transactions and ship parts out. this weekend i am going to be making handlebars, and there will be limited supply of each color. im only making about 20 pairs to start out. 10 black 5 green and 5 pink. and the internal headtubes will be out later because i have to order the headtubes as they are machined by solid bikes and i cant order until my paypal account is verified. but i have been emailing aaron from solid and i will be ordering the same internal headtube that Terrible one uses on their new ruben frame. i thought it looked the nicest. so in 2-3 weeks im hopeing i will have a run of 20 internal headtubes out also. same colors.

actually im not gona promise release dates cause i want to test things to see if they are strong.

hey boner i would but i want people that weigh alot like david cause david runs bars tall and so he puts most stress on them so it makes sense to have him test. and cary too and maybe javier cause he is always going hardcore.
but you, you weigh like 50lbs. you wouldnt really be able to put them to the test haha.
 
you need to tell me when those bars are done, that will make me a happy old man. lol

i voted black dawgs

you should think of making decks too if you get good sales on the bars :)

i have already made some decks (one that o rode for like a year and it got stolen) and will definetly be making some after i get started. and steven you are tall, i was thinking about bar hights. should i make them tall and you guys gut to your exact size? or should a make them in like 3 diff hights? the problem wiht you guys cutting them is that it is hard to slit the part of the tube for the clamp to work withou the tools. let me know. if i did make diff sizes itd be like 1'6" 1'10" and 2' tall. i THINK those are most commonly how tall people run their bars... but steven you might want even taller than 2 feet, i can make you some to your hight just like im doing for stan. oh and width.
ya leave feedback i need this info before i make stuff or i might accidently make stuff noone wants.

just make them the same size as regular razor bars.. you can just slide them up nad down right? and it wont matter if you drill it and put a bolt through it right? gotta save my knees haha

no they arent adjustable. i am making a one peice bar that goes from the fork up. like some gopeds have. that way it can still be light and strong. it adds weight with adjustment stuff, which isnt a problem with aluminum but with steel i want to keep it light.
it would help if everyone went to the site www.radskootco.tk and went in the guestbook and told me how high your bars are. measure from the top of your headtube to you grips.
and ya boner im making the heads too just have to wait to order the headtubes like i said before because they are machined by solid bikes and i cant make my own.

the reason they arent adjustable is that this design is stronger while staying light and there wont be anything to hit your knees on. af if you want you can cut it to your hight. but i want to make them come in the three most common hights people run their bars at.
 
idk if this is a good idea, but when i re-enforce my fork, i put a handle bar in it, and i havent broken a fork with one in it yet.

maybe you can make a sort of bar that goes inside the fork to strengthen it....other than handle bars, lol :D

i cant get to your site for some reason...

my HB height is 1'5"

ive made forks with an actual good steer tube that doesnt snap. and i will make them in the future if i can sell enough stuff. thanks for telling me your bar hight. it would be sweet if everyone could tell me their bar hight :) please let me know so i can make good sizes. or go on the site and ask for exact hights and i can make it for you. if you cant get on the site just email radskootco@hotmail.com i dont know why some people cant view it thogh??? dont ask about buying yet thouhg cause we are going to be testing them until probably january. and most likely they will be wider than regular bars. an inch per side or more.
