Just take a few inches off the top
I want to trim my bars and seatpost. what would be the best method to go about this? Could i just use a hacksaw or would a power tool be a more effective means. Happy trails!

Nashbar sells a nifty little tube cutter. I bought one, and plan on using it to trim my steerer tube and bars, though no results yet.

Quick and easy..... Drop Saw (if you have one). Used it on my seatpost, then filed it off with a nice edge. Works good.
