I just completed my Profile Champ a few weeks ago.... i was searching pretty hard for Profile bars... Anyone have any pictures of what they look like....compared to Hutch or GT bars....whats the major difference.....I also remember someone stating that they had a set and would only trade them for Hutch bars with the skinny cross bar (which i have for trade plus CASH!!!!)

thanks guys....help me ID what they look like...i would love to make my Profile....a little more Profile-lier!!! LOL!


Jon

I 'm curious as to what they look like also.....

Hey Jon

I have a set on my Hutch rider, they have a fantastic bend. Feel a little bigger than GT Pro's.

Unfortunately, it took me a long time to track a set down and I don't want to sell them. Not trying to be sm#rtass, I just don't want to part with them.

I haven't put them on my champ pro, because I restored that to it's original spec that I used bitd....

Here is the set on my Pro Racer rider....



Out of a mag from 83'

Anyone else have a set on their bike....and would like to trade??? HINT HINT!!!!

Wow a 600.00 price tag back then...

LOL 84.

OLDSkool, Ive been buggin 84 to trade his Profile bars for my Hutch Pro bars that would look MUCH better,,,,,,,, LMFAO.

Hey, gotta try right, LOL

Here's a quote from Jim Alley, owner of Profile Racing Inc back in '84.

QUOTE:

We'd rather be known as the Cadillac of the industry. We're not interested in building 10,000 bikes a year, just producing the absolute best we possibly can.

Trademarked Frame

QUOTE:

You can always tell them from a mile away by their distinctive gusset tube, which runs between the top and down tubes in the front triangle. Alley explains "This ladder type design has been used structurally for years in race cars, and we found it to worked equally well for BMX frame sets.

$600 price tag reflects the cream of the crop in bmx, to this day half those parts command big bucks. Thats a sweet bike, especially for a factory set up.

Jon - check your PM

Pep

84... i will thumb wrestle for them!!!!!!!

Surf.....didn't mean to step on your toes..... you already have a set.... NO FAIR!!!!!!! spread the wealth!!!!! LOL!!

Hey boys, they are good bars, but not worth losing thumbs and toes over!

I had been looking for these for a number of years, finally came across a set! You guys will too....Plus it is all even cause I don't have a set of Profile Pedals...unlike some others!

Hey, I'm also in the same boat...I need some Profile cruiser bars....Hope I don't have to look for another 2 years! Anyone got some photo's of them?

i need cruiser bars and pro bars too....Dang profiles...

Guess, we are meeting everyone we are going to be bidding against anyways! LOL!
