BMX Style Cruiser Bars, Can I get some options Please.

[BentRims]

Alright folks, I'm Tinkering with this Mid-90's cruiser and trying to get that Sweet spot in a BMX Cruiser Bar at a affordable price

The stock bars have a ton of up-sweep but no Back-sweep, 27" wide is nice though.
I've tried the S&M Big Honks, No sweep back. Yuck
Felt Bars, nice sweep back but at 26 "wide? really?

Been looking at the AL's trans, Mr. Tick, S&M SAC Bars, ect...

Found this thread here http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/anyone-interested-in-custom-s-m-cruiser-bars.104919/

$70 and up

What are you guys using? and what was $$$ damage? Good lord on some of the Vintage stuff

I have a few of these bars from Genuine Bicycles, they’re pretty cool, click the link below.

Nice sweep back too. If you’re in Los Angeles I would suggest checking out his bicycle shop, Atomic Cycles.

Velo Orange Klunker bars are on my short list
Not cheap, but awesome pull back

Nice Kona, had mine for over 30yrs and never ride it anymore.

WOW! That Hum is Mint-O
Thanks for that BMX link, was looking at those Velo Orange Klunker bars and the Big K bars, good stuff.
So I guess all the nice bars are $70+ and up
Time for a sell-off of some stuff.

I’m using this set on my strandie currently.
I believe they came off some sort of ‘city/cruiser’ bike.
They’re silver painted steel
Almost like mini apehangers, but not really. Decent pullback (flat bars make my hands go numb after 3-4 miles).

These look to be close, you can always add a bolt on crossbar for the ‘BMX’ look

Check out Al's Rapid Transit bars too.

Another option to consider is motorcross bars

All kinds of ideas out there!

If you would have any interest in selling it, I've been looking for one for a while.

Als are nice. I have a few of them. I’m pretty sure he has made them with different back sweep.

Mr. tick or tick one, makes nice klunker bars. They have a lot of back sweep. They are almost cartooney how big they are. He does a few different styles.

Wow, those Velo Orange Klunker bars look cool!

I've been running some S&M Husky bars the last year (my good friend has a set, too) and we've enjoyed them. They're WIDE!

I had them on my Jamis Earth Cruiser to start but now they're on my Sidewinder. My buddy runs his on his Schwinn heavyweight custom cruiser.

The bars/EC can be seen further down on this thread: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/1982-jamis-earth-cruiser-5-speed.145026/

 

[BentRims]

Wow! Thanks for all the input, Killer bikes

Look at these's Wild Mr.Tick V-Bars! Now that's some killer Sweep-Back.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Sick ride, Joaquin!
Ummm, BentRims, is that frame what I think it is? It's gotta be a replica, right?

 

[BentRims]

I don't know what that Bike Frame is, that pic is from Mr.Tick's Facebook site. It's definitely a True 3-Bar Cruiser or BMX for sure.

 

[BentRims]

VELO ORANGE KLUNKER BARS are Sweet with a 45% Sweep, but takes a 25.4 stem, I need a 22.2 and sold-out in black.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yeah, for a second, I thought someone had hacked a bike that belongs in the Smithsonian. I thought it was a ... Breezer!

 

[BentRims]

It could be real!? though it looks as it has some mix&matched parts, Snowflake Sprocket, Square pedals ect..
Back in the day when stuff broke you used whatever was lay'n around. I had some real Funky Huffy's back in the early 70's
