26" BMX Handlebars with more back sweep

[JA331]

Hi. I've been looking for bars like the old VDC style with more back sweep/pullback and as high as a Kos bar. I have the velo klunker bars on my mountain bike which have 45 degree back sweep. They're really comfortable and look great but are a little low for a BMX cruiser. I emailed Alan of als rapid transit who does great quality bars and he may be interested in doing a kos style bar with more back sweep. If you are interested you can email him through ebay.

They're too cool for school
Oh yeah, Velo Orange Klunkers

Velo klunker bars fitted to my mtb. I’ve sourced an electra attitude bar for my next build. 760w x 200h and a fair amount of sweep.

Electra attitude bars as fitted to the ghostrider. 22.2mm clamp too.

That Shogun is seriously nice. Looks like you have the nuts for a threaded headset, but the stem looks threadless. @JA331 how are you making that happen?

That Shogun cost me a packet to restore and years to collect all the period correct bits. Bought it in 89 new, sold it to a mate in 2000 and got it back about 7 years ago a wreck. Frame and fork are cmoly. Awesome to ride and fast.

I converted the threadless stem with this deda elementi quill/stem adaptor. Others out there similar. Shaft at lower section is 22.2mm.

Not to steer off topic, but how do you like those Schwalbe Big Apples?

I haven’t done many miles on them but can say they seem to be decent quality, run true and ride well.

I'd be interested in some bars like that as well. Love kos bars but with some sweep they would be even better.

Email your interest to Alan at Als rapid transit through ebay or you can call him on the number on his website. Not
sure if he has his email
address on there.
