easton site lists EA50 Riser Bars (http://www.eastonbike.com/PRODUCTS/BARS/bar_rise_ea50.html) and EA70 Monkey Bars (http://www.eastonbike.com/PRODUCTS/BARS/bar_rise_ea70.html), but no EA50 Monkey Bars. it seems to imply that the EA70 uses a better alloy, probably stiffer and stronger for its weight. the monkey bar looks like it has less of a rise than the riser bar.


you should get the carbon downhill riser bar (http://www.eastonbike.com/PRODUCTS/BARS/bar_rise_ml_dh.html).

There is also the EA50 XC bar, which is just a flat bar. I say go for the Monkey Riser. It has the word "monkey" in it.

I did something even better. I went to my LBS and bought some Titec bars.
They are called HellBent and have the word "hell" in them.

Hella nice low rise and cost me the price of a decent burrito.

I can't wait to get the new Azonic Ninja-Robot-Vampire-Monkey-Cowboy-Pirate-Zombie bars. They are supposed to cost $80 and weigh a few pounds, but the name is worth it.

Well I like Slayer, the Misfits and skateboard graphics by Pushead.

You seem more of a Paul Frank kind of guy.

To each their own own I guess.

Le Parker Meridien hotel on W. 57th St

Will sell you a $1,000 omelette! Makes a $20 burrito look like the biggest bargain ever.

Making it is easy, selling it is what's hard.
But yeah, if you make me one that is worth $20 and tastes like $20 I'll buy it.

Most expensive burrito I had was in Nappa. It cost $15.
