Charge Plug Racer's handlebar

I remember seeing the charge plug racer and thinking it look decent, thought nothing more of it until I pop down to the LBS near my home and notice the handlebar;



I didn't think people would make those kind anymore!

Had Charge put a lugged fork and probably a better stem than those butch-looking one, then probably it would be quite 'retro'.

i adhere to my opinion that charge never ever got it right from day one when they announced the plug.

£470 is a pretty good price point if the frame is any good...

heavy but comfortable without those relaxed geometry of the Langster, felt quite nippy around town for a comfortable bike.

you're right I think they did, I like the look of it, but it's a pity that it only came in black instead of plain metal.

Can you even get those bars separate from the whole bike?

The brake levers are connected to an rudimentary steering system. Pull the left one to go left, that kind of thing. Bit like a tank, I understand.
