S&M Bikes are making a bar with an 11-inch rise

And I thought bars from our era in the 80s were big. I remember back in 2001 when BMXers were ridiculing big bars. Now it is the other way round. Look at the size of these bars. 11 inch rise and 30 inches in width. Apparently, they sell for about $60 in the USA. You can bet when they come to Singapore the price will be jacked up so high you will be even wondering what hit you. 

But back to these bars. They are currently on sale on the S&M website. I do not know who will buy bars this size but I can bet quite a few of the local riders will...just to have something different. These are the specs from the S&M online store:

RISE: 11”
WIDTH: 30"
UPSWEEP: 3°
BACK SWEEP: 11°
CROSS BAR .75"
WEIGHT: 2.73lbs
MATERIAL: 4130 CrMo

S&M with a whole new bike size

Looks like S&M may be making a special-sized Holmes frame for the taller rider who is too big for a 20" bike. This is S&M's answer, a 22" BMX size. According to them:

Lookin' to roll on twenty-twos? The new Holmes Frame, 22" Pitchfork and Revenge wheels and tires have arrived! Want one? Get your local shop to get 'er done!

I thought that I had seen the "in-betweens" like the Hoffman Bikes 18" frame and fork. Looks like the other "in-betweens" have finally happened. Too big for a 20" and too small for a 24" cruiser? This may be the sweet spot you may have been looking for.
