Brett found these and was cool enough to ask if I wanted him to pick them up for me. Instead of flipping them for big money, he simply charged me the asking price and shipping. A true score, seriously. Thanks again Brett I really appreciate it. Great shape too!

Now if I can buy back the cruiser bars I sold a few years ago (like a dumb ass) for the same price I sold them.

[lboorse2]

That anno blue is electric!

[bennyt4130]

Killer. I don't think I have seen those before. Might be a candidate for the rare bars thread.

[monocoquemike]

Holy crap! Those are amazing! Worthy enough to build a bike around! You got rid of that blue brand x stem didn't you?? You should try to get that back...I've never saw a set of og finished brand x bars like that! I've seen polished, black, and red...The red and black were more of a matte finish, not annodized...Freakin sweet!!!!

[monocoquemike]

After a closer look, those are the only bars that I've seen without the "nubs" protruding where the bars are pierced...Pics of my pro sized bars for reference...

[TrulyOdd]

sick bars!!

cool of your brett.

[Spur]

My cruiser bars had the "nubs" too. These have them as they are pierced tubes, however, just much smaller (not altered btw).

[jc82]

the first bars had the striaght cuts. Also any brand X logo that you see and the X is not symetrical ie: the blue bars, they are early parts in the 93-95 range. The red bars like Mike posted have the symetrical X, or the newer logo from like 95-98 or whenever they closed up.

[monocoquemike]

Jake, I wasn't saying they were altered...I just thought that it was cool that I've never seen a set like that before. They are amazing bars!

Josh, Very cool info on the brand x logos and that the earlier bars are like Jake's!

[Nbl 49a]

Awesome bars! Thanks for the info on the logo and the differences in the ends.

[Spur]

Great info and much appreciated. I figured they were early versions based on the logo, rise, and the straight cut. I didn't think Brand X made these bars as back as 93? I thought they ripped the idea from Chad Herrington a few years later?

Mike, I just threw that out there because I was conveying that the nubs were not taken off to inform the non-midschool types who were just passing through. I didn't think you were saying anything negative at all. But you are right, I need a bike to build around them. Or not, just stash them away with the rest of the relics.

[jc82]

Well i meant to say the logo as far back as that not the bars. Im pretty sure the bars came out arohnd the end of 94 early 95. I dont think they based them off herrington. Probably herrington based his off brand x and jad. He used to work for pmc and pmc and brand x were out of the same location early on.

Chad had his bars on that titanium crusader in 94. I have read an interview where Chad has said these bars were copied from his. Whether or not that is true could be argued I am sure. I need to dig up that story.

[Freshour]

Those are really cool. I'm a dumbass about the mid-school era of the sport I wasn't around. I love learning all this info about it tho!!!

[Spur]

New for 94. Titanium version anyway.
