I find myself strangely drawn to these bars. Maybe just because of their 'alternative-ness', maybe because they just look comfortable to me. I reckon they will look great in clear coat on the new hardtail (when I finally get around to it.) If the Kevlar wrap remains yellow then the new frame will have to be blue :)
Anyway, loads more info on these groovy looking bars here: http://www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-repair/how-to-mountain-bike-wheel-buildi...
