Re: Early S&M Challenger bars??
Look like Challenger bars to me. From the same era as Dancing Man Slams. I think Challengers had a 5/8" and Slams had a 3/4" crossbar.
Sell me your Threaded S&M Goodies. IF, you are so inclined.

Re: Early S&M Challenger bars??
I don't know the age, but Challengers def had a 5/8's cross bar.
"I see today that the new bars from Doublecross have the exact same geometry as new Hutch bars. Since Doublecross is the brand-du-jour for this year on the race track, that's not a bad sign. I doubt their bars are as light as the Hutch bars though" -John De Bruin...Selling Bicycle components through rumors since 2013
LOOKING TO BUY;
Profile seat post clamp from the mid school...Red 1", Profile Gator Seat, Profile GAS Pedals, JP buzsaw chain tensioners Black, Solid REEL sprocket 30-33t Prefer Blue, but open to other colors as well.
