nice mods! I tried to find a hi-rise bar to do the same mod and found the tioga r60 with a 60mm rise. Unfortunately the centre bulge actually begins before the bend so I couldn't thread the bars...

Thought I'd found a neat and relatively cheap solution by buying some tioga R60 risers. High 60mm rise and an almost identical sweep to the M-bars - if anything slightly flatter.

well if you want to get really pedantic (and lets face it, this thread is no stranger to pedantry) then topologically speaking are bicycle wheels not essentially toroidal?

I can see small-er wheelers becoming more acceptable to the mass market over time but you have decades of aesthetic prejudice to get over. BMX is mass market and is a pretty specific application but...

it seems possible to get the long nuts in question down to size m5 but I'm guessing the stud for the catch is a smaller thread than that. Might just bite the bullet and get an s stem.
