Yeh but you dont get me.
Its simple
Ready done bull horns, they are longer.

Cut down drops, they are shorter

Pursuit bars, they drop down and come back up again.

I really really do get you, but I think you could make the persuits on that Giant out of drops. Anyway, this is slightly pointless and off topic (sounds like you eh?). :wacko:

Yeh, well done.
Still dont think you can make these from drops though, without something to re-bend them.

The Giant does look nice though, just not my thing. Would rather have the normal Bowery.
There was that Bowery(the white one) frame for sale around me really cheap, couldnt afford it though.

Joe24 is correct and Radius is wrong.

Proper bullhorns and persuit bars are made for that purpose, drops are not so the length of alloy your hand grips on the side has a longer flat run than it does on the converted drops. Flopped and chopped are similar but not the same. Bullhorns and persuit bars are infinitely more comfortable.
This matter is now closed :wacko:

I wasn't saying either that they were the same, or better / worse, just that the Giant's bars looked slightly chopped and flopped. Anyway, let's leave it.

Don't be patronising. Now fahgeddaboudit.

How is that patronising:wacko:
Edit: if you really want to carry on the, no they dont look like thay have been chopped and flipped, even though someone has agreed with me that they dont, then feel free to pm me. I will send you links to lots of pictures showing the difference.

Rolleyes is the most patronising emoticon in existence, and you can be quite patronising at times. Anyway, forum fights are no good, so let's not start one.
