“When I had the chance to design a bar, I knew exactly what I wanted it to be… nice and tall, wide and strong. It’s the best bar I’ve ever ridden. Bigger bends for stronger support ’cause I’m not trying to have my bar break on me. All straight-gauge tubing that’s ready for you to bring the heat and take a beating.” ” – Shawn McIntosh / FitBikeCo.com
