For all you complainers:

1. It's surface rust. Won't do jack shit. Sanded off easily.

2. Welds are great. I don't know what you guys are on but there's nothing wrong with them.

And to that other guy who said the bars were made out of the stem. That's a 25mm crossbar..

Thank you for clearing that up.
You guys are all retarded.
Ive got fresh wee gusset style bars, and they are tiged and are holding up good as.
I like the new design of bars.
And i dont know whats wrong with the forks, i reckon they are mad.
And stop talking about slopy welds and ----- you dont know what your on about, there done professionly.
Also, those are 5mm offset forks, some of the first.
He wouldnt sell rusted bars guys, so shut up.

Ahh its just surface rust, get over it?
Don't ppl like raw any more?
I live about 400m from the beach, its something hard to over come and the metal's 3 months old so what do u expect.
These have been sent to the powder coaters and will be back in a matter of weeks or if lucky days.
The bars are TIGed with mild steel and the fork is TIGed with stainless steel tig (you can see the colour difference) once sanded back they look the same.

Yes in a way but its actually not all that round, its more like a rounded triangle which gives it more strenght.
Just wait till the other 1 comes back from the powder coaters, i experimented with a slightly different size and shape.
And maybe its great mind think alike?

This is just my 5 cents,If some in this realtively small sport is trying help it grow you try shut them down?
Best idea ever?
Just jump on the band wagon?
I'm not just talking about myself but other ppl who has tried, maybe try constructive criticism.
From the kid who spend $100's of dollars and hours even days try with little or no help just so he can see the sport that he loves grow a little. (yes i mean this very litterally)
Thats just his opion.
