Now then. I wonder if these make 20" bikes suddenly come in to sharp focus for us larger gents?
I had a set of CW bars on my 20" when I was younger and they were HUGE. Or at least they felt that way.
So imagine a Fit Lurch with these bars and your now in 22" inch Faction territory for cockpit feel. Though wheelwise, very different of course.
Hmmm very interesting.

Haha. I'm confused... did you make that last ad?
i made the one with the Dirt Bike not with the chick. heh heh. i didn't think of it as an "ad" though. just an illustration of the fact that it was typical in the early years of S&M to be running bars that were effectively 10" since they were 8"/8.25" + stacked headset + stem raised a little + top loader. so your grips were almost in the same place. i know cuz that's how i rode my Holmes and later my Homeless Mack, Pornstar, Taj, etc. !

Nice bump, the S&M sweet 16's look good (vomit, lol). Funny how a lot of bars now are approaching 9" plus rise. 10's don't sound as crazy now.
