My Heritage has 12" mini apes. It is my understanding that 10" to 12" rise are mini's and 14" and up are called apes.

I agree under ten inches are mini apes, over 10 apes.

Buckhorns are different because they bend towards you instead of out.

Where, and when I grew up, the ones on Momma's Sporty, are "Buckhorns" They almost point rearwards.




The one's on the 78 are 12" Mini apes.




And these would be apes.




BUT that's where I grew up. Your results may vary, some assembly requarred.


AS LONG as we are ?ing 'names' of bars, My 'concept' of "beach" bars, are evidentally different, from 'some' of the catalog companies. To ME, they need to sorta be like "apes". You almost gotta be "reaching" for them. In other words, WIDE. IF you are NOT reaching, are they then, "mini beaches" ??????? Jus' aksin, that's all.

Gump, I think those are called "Sons of Beaches" but I could be wrong.
