The lightest bars in the early 90s

[7Speed]

Early 90s I think Roox were sub 130g?

Always thought a handlebar was not the place to take risks though…the fact the Roox was a uniform tube thickness around the circumference was either great engineering or … not.

I ve got this. It´s comfortable and flexes some but scary light imo and i really want to have a 170grs + titanium bar there.

Titec Flat-tracker Ti 630mm x 11º 197g according to my scales, super comfy and I trust them.

Sub 130g with a shim, shimmed are usually heavier as they use a shim. It's why Syncros was never mega light.

the ti ones were around 150g.


Controltech were 142;

I only had the alloy ones, the wall was so, so thin. They snapped of course.

Original Roox bars were sub130 with no shim. I remember the owner of the local shop showing them to my ride group as we dropped by one day - no one was buying into the excitement as we all liked our faces organized the way they were. Surprisingly couldn’t find any original Roos bars for sale when I looked a couple of days back.

One of the shims is glued on my bars.
