WTD: Pinnacle Arkose bars
Longshot - but has anyone bought an Arkose, not liked the stock bars and fancies selling? ideally 44cm

Re: WTD: Pinnacle Arkose bars
Not 44cm, but I've got some 42cm I took off my Arkose (in favour of 44cm so I could fit my dry bag on better).
Re: WTD: Pinnacle Arkose bars
I have some Giant bars that are 44cm center to center.
Bought as I was finding some narrower ones small, but i've gotten used to them now. Still in the box.

Think 42 would be a bit on the narrow side for me cheers.
What is the shape of your giant bars chew - I really like the long shallow drop on the pinnacle bars

They are these ones

Fairly standard drop and curve

Thanks Chew - think I'll hold on for more of a 'dirt drop' (was just sick in my mouth typing that, apologies) shape with a bit of flare or a pair of the Arkose bars if i can find them.

Re: WTD: Pinnacle Arkose bars
I have a few sets knocking around from trying to find my perfect set up (currently waiting on some Easton EA70 ax), which might fit the bill,
Nitto randonneurs; 45cm centre to centre, 25.4 clamp, not sure how much flare is but would guess around 4 degrees
Salsa bell lap 46cm, 26 clamp
original WTB dirt droppers from 90's, 535 end to end, masses of flar, 25.4 clamp
Could sort out pics if your interested

Yeah, I heard that too ... although no doubt 31.8mm.
