If it's just the bars, get one of these benders and start bending. With that premium on spaghetti, rust (which some have noted has been selling well) will be relegated, and we will see a new cottage industry develop.
It needs to be 25.4 or whatever in the middle for the stem clamp - so how would you get that done on some bars that are sufficiently long enough to give scope for adequate "artistic expression"?
There are people who eschew butterfly bars for touring because they flex too much. Dunno what they'd make of this.

Interesting... thanks for the mention. I'll ponder more and get back to you if it works, but still haven't convinced myself yet the frame is worth the dollars .devilishdesigner wrote:I've got a very similar MS frame which is slightly creased but has straight forks, maybe you need both?LG wrote:Been watching this old Malvern Star as it's not far from home http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370747430507 ... 1423.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I object, that frankenbike is not "tandem shaped". Looks more like the result of a terrible accidentHamster wrote:****WARNING****

Apart from it's shocking visual presence, I don't think that chain arrangement would work for long, but perhaps just long enough before it snaps in half.

Beats me, at the moment it's on what i recently got for a fully restored early 90s Peugeot Iseran which was a heck of a lot better quality than that.WyvernRH wrote:Obviously because it's Red?Rob74 wrote: It's a DUNGA why are they bidding???
