Title: Cheap Bob Bars!
Post by: bluebmx on April 04, 2015, 04:51:18 PM

I recall a few people saying how they were looking to scoop some OG Bob bars up when they could find them, back when some Ride UK (I think) article popped up about them. Well, it's your lucky day. $35 at J&R http://www.jrbicycles.com/animal-bob-scerbo-4-piece-bars

I don't think he was into animal selling the big 4 Bob bars.  There was some beef from that situation

I've had similar feelings, but have hoped I'm wrong... Oh well, not much to do about it either way.

He's been off the Team page for months now. This is no surprise to most people. He had that interview in Dig talking about the bars and him and Ralph not seeing eye to eye but didn't elaborate.

The reason the bars got discontinued was that Animal wanted to do the bigger ones and they wanted to use my name on them and I said no, so when they got made I told them they can not do mine anymore, I thought the bars were fine the way they were. Just some bullshit really. I would like to remake them as Skapegoat bars but I don’t really want to go that route and be a bike company because it never seems to work out well for people who choose that. Obviously the politics with me and Animal goes a lot deeper than that but that is the simplest way I can explain it.

All of a sudden, skapegoat videos disappeared from animal's vimeo... What a loss, i miss Hamilton's youtube channel so much too.
