TT bars

Matt the Tester

hi everyone.

i have managed to get some money now im desperate for TT Bars from a LBS and they are only £40 i could go and buy them now but i have to pay my phone bill which is coincidentally £40 also. i have enough money and my bill would be paid in two weeks time instead of today what would you guys do?

pay the bill??

Buy the TT bars??

bearing in mind i could pay my bill in two weeks or visa versa but they might not be there anymore!

Have a word with LBS, put a deposit on the bars...

Bills first or what hopper said. You dont want late payment notices on your credit file in these times we live in. Theres plenty other places to get bars.

ok thanks for the advice

Where were you planning to get the bars from? Not everywhere will demand that you pay for something in one go upfront, though you'll probably end up paying extra.

As for the bill or the bars, pay your "MUST DO'S" before your "WOULD LIKE'S" every time. Do it once and you'll only end up doing it over and over again.

If you're worried about Formby Cycles running out of stock (more than possible given that it's such a busy shop) try these people; I've bought from them several times and they're very friendly and knowledgeable:

They're in Scarisbrick, quite handy for you being based in Southport

What is the general review on the Deda Parabolica bars?

I'm looking to get a set for my bike, and they at the moment seem like the best I can afford.
Also, do they come with end stoppers as I'm guessing for races, they're not going to like the bar just stopping like the pics...

I've also been looking at the Profile T2's with the joining section, plus they're pretty compact and weight wise the same.

Should I get the Deda's, or save for the T2's in a month or so's time?

No they don't, you just tape them up and use some end caps. They are "proper" clip ons (as opposed to "shortie ones", so they are designed to be used with bar end shifters, but you don't necessarily need to use bar end shifters.
