Well I am almost done fabricating the frame and getting ready for the steering. I have absolutely no idea yet what I want to put on this. I am wondering if people could show a couple picks of different handlebar setups that have worked for them and looked a little different than others. I am thinking of using 3/4 EMT and bending it myself. Is this going to be ridgid enough??? Thanks for the ideas!
:cheers: :hot: :lush:

I just bought some real sexy mountain bike handlebars from Ebay 7/8" diameter and a stem clamp also from a mountain bike. It all wasn't that expensive, but will look great when it is all together.

Yea, I was just driving around and saw a couple bikes in a construction dumpster, So I did a little dumpster diving and came up with some that will work perfect. Can't go wrong with the price! Free.99 It will be soooo much easier than bending and welding some custom bars. But my friend is still on my case about putting on some big apehangers.

I agree go with the mtn bike bars....I would not use 3/4 EMT conduit myself.
I made my own bars from the same 1" square stock as the frame.They are the Z style. Heff
