Here is the thing, I didn't actually have these up for sale and there was a wanted ad on another site. I contacted the poster with pictures and told him I wasn't 100% sure they were real(my mistake but as I have never owned any others I didn't want there to be any problems. I wanted him to be sure he knew what he was getting as they are relatively rare). He said he would check into it and what it has came back to is a ton of emails back and forth with nothing really definitive. I have done some research myself since initially contacting him and am now 99% sure they are real but would appreciate some confirmation. Now on with the information about my bars. These are CHROMOLY bars and are 27 and 3/4" wide, they have almost a 6 and 1/2" rise(ignore the picture my wife took she didn't measure where I asked her but she sure can take better pictures of chrome than I can!) These are shaped A LOT like my GT pro bars with a few exceptions: GT bars are taller overall, GT bars have a larger diameter crossbar, GT bars don't have near as nice of welds and the sweep is different than the Profiles). The Profile sticker is on CLEAR backing. It is 2 and 3/4" long and definitely has a lot of age to it as the one edge has came up and is no longer sticky. The welds are BEAUTIFUL and are the nicest I have seen on anything. Any confirmation one way or another would be appreciated. The potential buyer already contacted someone and couldn't get a real answer one way or another. The fact is these bars are 100% OG and not refinished with probably a 20+ year old Profile sticker on them.

So I am kind of bummed I haven't been on here much lately and that I failed to even get any bikes listed in last years BOTY. My lame excuse is that I started a new job appox. 3 years ago and it has me commuting to work and it seems like I never have enough time to do all those things I'd like to do. BTW, I was looking for the button to make a contribution to the site, but don't seem to see it anywhere on here. Anyway, I was doing some research on Hutch and came across this crazy website with pictures and video of the old Profile BMX manufacturing plant. Have any of you guys seen this? It really blew me away. I'm kind of surprised they still have some old inventory just sitting around doing nothing... Here is hoping that this link works for you. https://digbmx.com/dig-this/forgotten-artifacts-from-profiles-dungeon
