Thanks I got ya now. Thanks for the reply back again. I was originally looking at the Yaffe apes until I saw these. Much more substantial looking with the 1.5 thinkness.

You definitely won't be disappointed if you get the Vindikta bars, you can tell Joe knows what he's doing, they are really well made!

Now you got me thinking that I should get the 14". I wish someone in my area has a set so that I can size it up. How tall are you, if you don mind me asking. I am 5'11 with a 32 inseam and 34" arm sleeve size. I just don't want my wrists over my shoulders. Thanks In advance.

I'm only 5'6, 29 inseam and 32 arm.

I sat on a 2014 SG last night at Quaker Steak bike night and the guy had 14" Vindikta bars on it. My arms were straight out level with my shoulders. I'm definitely switching to the 14" Vindikta bars.

I would think someone your height would be totally comfortable with the 14's

I went with the 16" Vindikta's and my hands on the grips are about 2" - 3"'s below my shoulders, I'm just under 6' tall. About perfect if you ask me but I wonder what 17"s would have been like....
