Phew!!!
It's open to any subscriber, so free trial or one month's digital only for 99p or whatever should do it!

Interesting bar from Cannondale

Interesting because the crossbar stiffens it makes it less comfy while also being too thin for mounting things to? : ) I suppose it'd be useful for stabilising a bar bag strap. And £15 is a good price.

I can't decide quite how that bar is meant to be orientated - looks more like a motocross bar

Too late for you now. But TREDZ now have em at £340 plus 10% using the discount code up above. They weren't that cheap so your post might wel have caused the occurrence...

Interesting because I wasn’t sure what style to call it

I've got a similarly interesting Stooge Junker bar. It's in a box in the shed for the reasons listed

... and there I was thinking it was a loop type bar designed to be laid 'flat'. Guess I was right about the motocross thing then

DJ bar? Too narrow for me, if you are going to go for the full vintage scrambles bar , it needs to be at least 850mm wide a la Surly sunrise....

I did say that would happen Mine was £339 but I have to look at STW for a month

Discount code wouldn't work for that Dave. So you still saved 99p (and the insult of having to sub at STW sorry).

I've had a sub at STW for years. It's the best of the magazines and a really useful forum - good folk there, and associated with them, too. They try to do things right in a really challenging niche. There are some plonkers on the forum, multiplied due to numbers using it. Everywhere has a proportion.

I’ve had personal experience of the owners. Best left at that

Fair enough, but just thought I'd add some balance. I've met Mark and Chipps and they were at neither end of the knobhead>>legend continuum.

In my experience one comes across as disengaged and the other definitely occupies one end of that spectrum, he's probably offered to fight as seems his style
