Luckily risers aren't likely to get scratched. Mount and cut them then mask, prime, paint and gloss. Install grips. White risers have you.

edit: you only need to mount first if you're quill, non-open face stem. Because they'd get scratched to **** installing them, obviously. With open-face you can obviously paint then install.

Unless you absolutely need to have a high-end bar or an NJS stamp you'll just be painting over just look at every bike shop or a co-op. You'll almost definitely find something. Really wide bars take 30 seconds to chop with a hacksaw.

I found new "ACTION" bars for $8 before.

You can get them at Mr. Bulky's*. Don't even bother looking for them at a real bike shop.

*Does Mr. Bulky's even exist anymore?

they look like customized pista concepts, make sure to get the 31.8 (oversized) bars, look great and seem stiffer to me.

Bape, dunks, 59fifty, selvedge denim, etc...
