We partnered with the legendary folks over at S&M Bikes to create a more stylish and affordable Made in the USA crossbar handlebar. This one is an absolute dream come true as we've been huge fans of S&M, and their American Made ethos, ever since our formative years spent prowling the local streets on a BMX bike. Partnering with them is a real honor. These are perfect for your cruiser, MTB, or country bike. They offer a heads up riding position and plenty of leverage for control. The finish is a powder coat in Transparent Gold, Transparent Black, or Clear. They look rad and show off the heat marks from the fabrication process. As clear coats are porous your bars will patina underneath the powder coat. Be aware. "Made in USA" and "Wilde Bicycle Co." are stamped into the steel, but the Wilde logo is a decal on top of the clear coat. The clamp diameter is 22.2 so you will need shims if you're planning on using a 25.4, 26.0 or 31.8 clamp stem. We recommend utilizing a stem with at least four bolts in the faceplate, you can generate a lot of leverage with these and anything less risks the bars rotating. *Please note that due to the nature of transparent powdercoat and variances in the steel stock that appearance varies from batch to batch* Specs 73mm or 2.87" Rise 15° Back Sweep 7 ° Up Sweep 830mm Wide - can be trimmed as low as 730mm 22mm Clamp Weight: 793 Grams 100% Chromoly steel Handmade in California Show more
