Nice Pics, Uncle Punk!
Nice bike, but those are not those "magic" handlebars I want.

Bars? we don't hang around in Bars!
Hmmmmm, well, the bars on the OD green bike Kilroy showed are pre/post war Torringtons. I have several of those in Origional OD Green if anyone needs them NOS and stunningly different!
I have no Idea what Hal is looking for, tho I can get Wald bars. I do not know what era he's talking about, so I dunno what to say there. I currently have "Half-Moon" bars on my 05 and Model 09.
I dunno what I'm gona put on the new 24 inch stretch-cruiser. The Luxury Liner (circa 1953) has moon bars, BUT I'll need to change them, or cut down the reach, as my knees hit them in corners (cotton-pickin Dangerous!).
Saaaayyyy.......Whzt 24" stretch-Cruiser???

well can you describe the rise and bend at all? It's so hard to picture... um are you talking about apehanger type bars, you know the hi-rise units from the muscle bike era?

Hey Mike:
I looked through the Wald catalog and the Niagara Bicycle Works catalog, and they had a few pairs that were close, but not the exact style I want.
If I could only find that picture...I think I clicked on the little red spot to bring it up.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but...
Actually Mike, they are wartime military contract Torringtons, and mine were also NOS. Alas, I've run out. How much do you charge for a pair in case I need one for an upcoming resto?

They Were Not Apehangers...
...but they had a mild, graceful rise, maybe 7 inches, with no severe bends.
The curves were just graceful perfection!
We were using the bars in the era I mentioned...1948-52, but I recall seeing them in later years too.
Kilroy's picture was close, but not like the picture I'm trying to find.
