Cut out the cross bar support piece, file down the rough edges, paint, and it looks more old school

Years back we used different types of handlebars for our cable machine when weight training. Also used different handlebars to angle our grips when doing pullups/chinups. But as the weight increased it became evident that something was gonna give! I wouldn't advise doing it for most any weight training!

A lot of the FreakBikers have used straight handlebars for seat posts on their Pixie racers. They usually are bent after a few races.

Cut up bars and made plenty ofcrazy new handlebars over the years.

We make many of our Great Lakes FreakBike Banquet trophies using handlebars and other bike parts.

I cut the straight part of bars and use them as sleeves for the tubes of many of my frame builds.
