There are a number of people here that probably know BMX bars better than I do, and there are an overwhelming variety out of bars out there on the market (and few sites give you decent filters to sort them out). Plus I know there are a number of smaller distributors (Porkchop, Al's, etc.) that I'll miss out on if I only stick to searching Amazon.
In any case, I'm building up the sweet chro-mo cruiser frame I got from @Toeslider, and after taking it on it's maiden voyage today, two things are for sure - it needs a layback seatpost, and it would probably be a lot better with BMX bars. I have a stem on there that takes 25.4 bars, but I'm fine with buying a new stem. It's the bars that I'm concerned about - I have some rather specific dimensions I'm looking for. I got a sweet set of BMX bars for free from @us56456712, and I'd like another pair that are pretty much identical for this ride.
I'm not too up on calculating BMX bar dimensions, so I've included a few pictures to serve as reference points for how I have calculated these dimensions:
1. A span of about 25 inches:
2. A height (rise?) of about 8 inches:
3. Sweep is really hard to calculate, hence no pictures. Depending on how I'm measuring I'm getting anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of sweep.
I'm pretty much just looking for silver/chrome bars, but if anyone has any funky anodized recommendations I might be interested too . Thanks!
