Just felt like sharing. Got some old Bontrager Crowbar MTB riser bars from a buddy. The gauge is like 1/2 the thickness of my old Bontragers and after I cut em down to the same width, theyre lighter... like it matters. I love em LOL

The best thing to do is throw those candles out while your GF is at work.
Take control.

he said nothing of the langster, just the bars :P i must say, i'm fond of pursuit and drop bars, but to each his own, they don't look bad : ). do the risers remind anybody else of a bmx bike?

OP your bars are fine--looks recycled which ain't a bad thing.

Haha NO! I love the cross bar haha. I'll probably paint em but otherwise, I like em as is.
p.s., I let her put candles in the fireplace since I have all sorts of other crap hanging on the rest of the walls, i.e., naked mermaid cards skateboard, probably like 10 more decks around the house, porn star action figures, etc...
