Building a single speed cafe cruiser and I’d like to get some opinions on how it’s looking. Was torn between these bmx style handlebars or cruiser type bars. Thoughts on the stem?
I don’t think Reddit should really dictate how you build a bike according to aesthetics. That’s a personal decision. If you like it, send it. I bet you could do a poll and get a 50:50 split. That said those bars look cool to me. I’m sure a swept back bar would be cool too. I’d make the decision more based on riding style. Do you wanna hop off curbs and rip single track with a little more confidence? Go with the bmx bars. If you think you’ll just be lolligagging and being upright looking around, go sweep.

Looking great so far. Build it for you and the style of riding that you do.

I like the bmx handlebars, I want to get something similar for my Giant Iguana. Where did you get those bars from?

I didn’t think it was pretty, but it will certainly be comfortable.
