Well if they fit you they are good. My friend has them and he loves them because he has wide shoulders but I dont and have long arms so the suck for me.

You can cut Slams down to like 25ish...
But if your going to cut Slams, you should have just gotten Medium bars or Smal slams.

Oh, well you can still cut them down to about 25...

What kind of bars are you intending on getting?
Berringers(sp?) are smaller versions of Slams, if you like the height and stuff of your slams.

I also liked those bars, but the fact that they weren't heat-treated made me look elsewhere.

I sanded my frame down back to white, the spray paint just came right off, leaving the old white, just not as shiny and smooth since it was sanded...(duh)

Yesterday I was screwing around and jumped off my bike, it rolled into a mud puddle and got crap all over the grips and half of the front wheel... it's a lot of work to clean it off :/

The other day i was riding and my pants got caught in the sprocket, i stopped and i couldnt get off as i was still stuck and i fell in a puddle. Not good. My grips and i were soaked and it was a bugger to dry my grips which were slipping. And my pants got ripped

OK boys. Next post with any variation of the word "Poo" that attempts to bypass the censors will earn that member a short ban.

I am looking for a new decent bike between 300 and 400 dollars. I plan to ride mostly street and park, but I am not sure what to get. Are there any suggestions?
