Default Anyone Running Carlini Apes?
I was looking into the Flyin' Apes or the Gangster Apes. The pics on there website show some nice pics of different heights. I'm thinking 16". I love the bend in the upright tubes, looks sick!

Flyin' Apes:


Gangster Apes:


I was wondering if anyone had any input on their apes. Like/dislikes. Pics anyone?

On a side note, I like the 21/18 setup on this Deluxe!!!!

Thanks,

Both of those are sweet lookin apes. I went with the Nash gimp hangers, but wish I done a little more research and found these. Those wheels look hot on that thing too! Either way you go, its gona look great!

I know this is and old thread but, has anyone seen either of these on a Rocker? The Gangster and Flyin' Apes are some B.A. lookin bars. Just don't know if they would look good on a Rocker?

On a rocker, Id say the Evil Apes. Just MHO. Gives the rocker a mean look.

I have the Flyin' apes in 16". Just be aware the 16"'s are like 18"'s and if I remember correctly you are not the tallest guy. I am the user formerly known as anubisss. I love my Carlini's. I far prefer the look of the Flyin apes. Mine are the 1.5 diameter as well.

I went with the 12" Flyin Apes and as the Dr. just said be aware they are taller than advertised. I'm 5'6" and the 12's are right at shoulder height for me.
