Anyone know some pro's/con's between the 2?

All I can think of is cost?

were the redline bars race bars?

maybe try dirt-jump bars.

Lemme go look and see what I have in the garage- if I have any I'll post 'em in classifieds.

'kay?

Thump.

Yeah- just went and had a look.

I only have aluminium cruiser bars left. These are too soft and only have a 5" rise, so too low for a fiddy.

I found the other (steel) ones, but my kid has put them on his bike!!

Anyway- if you want a cheap source of strong bars take a look at www.danscomp.com.

Sorry I can't help you this time. :(

Ive been checking into bars today Marco and it seems that we would want a bar with as little sweep as possible because they are so close to you to begin with. The BMX bars Ive looked at have anywhere from 6deg. of sweep up to 12.5deg. of sweep. We want closer to 6. I think im going to go with the Fast50s McGrath black bars.
