I’ve been hearing whispers of Tracko reviving the Congoloid bar but wasn’t sure when it would actually come to fruition!! Sure enough he made it happen through BTCHN’ bikes, a California made bike company.
The bars are up to spec to match the world famous Congoloid handlebars, the only difference being where the bend actually starts on the bar and them likely being way stronger. The bars are pricey at $170, but remember that you get what you pay for. Here’s what Tracko had to say about the bars:
“Many months ago, someone asked me if I was holding any Resist Congoloid Bars. I thought to myself, I don’t, but I bet I can get them made. I first hit JBall up to see if he had the specs on the originals, and of course he did. Then I hit Tyler at BTCHN’ Bikes up to see if he’d bend them up for us, and he was totally down!
Introducing the Loid BTCHN’ Handlebar!!!
Made in CALIFORNIA by BTCHN’ Bikes!!!
*Clamp: 22.2
*Rise: 3.5″
*Width: 28″
*Backsweep: 9º
*Up Sweep: 2º
* Width 800(Can be cut to any length you desire)
**This is a PRESALE for these bars. They will be up for 1 week starting today. Then I will deliver the number sold to BTCHN’ Bikes, and we’ll be looking at 3 weeks till we can ship! A lot shorter period of time than checking eBay for Congoloid Bars until one pair pops up and everyone is fighting over them.”
