from Surrey Hills - UK Date Reviewed: March 11, 2006 Strengths: I originally swapped these for my Nitto 28" 2lb riser bars circa 1995. When flat bars were popular the first time around as gave you extra room for levers etc. These were made from very thin wall Easton EA 70 before Easton decided to venture into the cycling accessory market. Only Carbon varaints are lighter today which makes them one of the best products of all time. I trimmed them down by 20mm each side and they weigh Weaknesses: none - no fatigue after 11 years of use Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Taperlite, Easton EA70, Kore, Syncros, Azonics Bike Setup: Mainly XC but various bikes over the years, Muddy Fox, Conquest, Roberts White Spider, Trek Easton 8000, Dale sm2000, Variuos Specialezed SJ's + now an Sworks Epic
