Looking at Bully bars on ebay, they look a lot like Haro knee savers.
ARe they the same geometry as Knee savers?

I am considering a pair for the retro look.

Any comments?

that's the Bully version that is most like Haros, but still not very similar (the other versions were more like Redline).

I have a set of those and they are very comfy. But just a little heads up before you buy, they are quite heavy and the chrome isn't like what I had expected. It's a dull chrome if that makes any sense. Kinda of like nickel plate or something. But definitely not the bright gleaming chrome I'm accustomed to seeing on bikes.

P.S. They're likely wicked strong 'cause the tubing is so thick I had a job to squat a set of bar ends in there.

It will take a few weeks for pictures, i bought the bike on ebay and its in transit.

I also bought a whole bunch of parts to have it in my own taste.

Bars will take a few weeks before i receive them as seller was in THAILAND!!.

Some other parts i purchased on ebay came from Porto Rico.

Once assembled, its gonna have parts from around the globe

Well congrats I know I am doing the same. Did you buy the kneesavers from babelovely or coffemilk? Just curious. I bought a set of Haro tires for my 85 master form babelovely and she is in Thailand. They have yet to arrive.

I bought them from coffeemilk, i was skeptic prior to ordering from Thailand, but he as lots of feedback. I figure it will take more then 4 weeks before they get here.
I currently am burried in snow, so i have no use for them for the next few months.

I am also considering buying a set of his reproduction haro fork standers, if he lowes his combine shipping i wil buy a set
