i don't know of many companies out there that make'em but the FI and sbfreaks bars seem to be popular, what do you think is the best and why? i tried to post a poll but i don't know what happened...

the SBF Bakerbros bar.

1 because its adjustable.
2 because its strong as shiiiii
3 beacuse it wont cost you a arm and a leg.
4 because its not wide as hell and it doesnt take away from the look of a 50.
5 because baker is just a cool cat

 

yeah i like that whole adjustibility bit, and the fact that you could easily remove the rear section easily, i wonder if he could do one powdercoated black. i also like the fact that the FI bar is powdercoated and extends down to the frame for support though. got any pics of that bar mounted up w/out plastics on? and what kinda endcap is that? looks sweet man!

i agree with reynolds..plus jbaker told me they stand behind it if anything goes wrong....

 

scrape the fender..f the bar !!!!

 

well, i think my bar is the best!!!....lol

1. it has a double thick scrape plate
2. it has "wings"...lol....so it's not as likely to rip the jeans....
3. it actually bolts to the frame, yes the actual frame, so it puts even less weight on the subframe than the fi bar
4. i still haven't broken it, plus it's got an 8 in plate so it'll stand in the wind..lol
5. it's actually pretty short so i don't get the thats not a 12 bar, it's lke f'kin 10...lol, but i guess i could make them at any time if you see what i'm saying....
'here are some pics...btw, i weigh about 275 and i'm all on the bar in that one pic...

 

10 my *** thats more like 12:30 if you ask me. cool pics any how.

 

does anyone have any pics of their bar mounted w/out the plastics on? i know that fi put out one pic of theirs w/out the plastics but that's all i've found... and redr1 your bar looks sweet, all it needs is a replacable scrape plate.

SBF bar...that is all you need to know..
you guys ask this every week.

 

here is a pic of my buddys bike with his plastics off.

 

thanks brad. so to mount the sbf bar you gotta drill to mount right? and what kinda endcap is that on your fiddy?
B

 

Its a end cap by PitKing racing. I got mine at Fremont cycle salvage, but im pretty sure ive seen it on Ebay.

 

Well I run the FI 12 bar and I love it. I will take the plastics off tonight and take a pic of it.

:YEAH :YEAH

 

i have a F.I. on the way, and I have riden the F.I. team bike. that being said i think the F.I. bar is best. not only is it designed w/ the weakness of the subframe in mind, but also has replacable wear bars. also it wide enough to put a foot in and park 2 gear highchairs.

baker bar is a bit narrow, and looks really cheap and tacky

 

LOL....what is funny about these threads. People who are "sponsored" by these bar makers always have to say the best things about the bar. After all we have to....WRONG...not with Baker he told me to be honest...he dont give a crap.

when i was going to get the hook up with FI i had to do all this crap (i would have done it anyhow) but it was pressed for me to do it. I guess it should be?

we all know the major price difference...and you all should know a bar is a bar when you are compareing the FI and the SBF bar.

as far as the sub frame bending with either bar,,,,IT WILL NOT HAPPEN so stop asking. ENOUGH OF THAT..lol...you will DIE trying to bend your frame.

either bar is great. but when it comes down to MY pocket and moeny savings...it will be the SBF bar.

get a hold of me if you have any real question about the bar in PM.

Ride hard :YEAH

 

that is sure one nice looking setup.

 

no **** man, that bike looks trick.....




btw, the offer of me building one still stands, i'll do it for 65 to the first person that wants one....they can critique it if you want to , because me saying my bar is the **** is kinda biased eh??

 

no one wants your ghetto bar RedR1...lol

 

lol, well, i'm just tryin' ya know, a college kid can use every extra penny...lol

 

you know what..my fault completly.

if i had the same skillz i would do the same.
