Upgrading front end
My ride currently uses a nashbar threadless stem and bullhorns. Not so sure about the stem, but I can physically flex the bars by holding the horns and squeezing them together. Obviously, the front end feels really noodly when I ride. Anybody have any rec's on stiffer bullhorns that aren't stuidly expensive? I'm looking for something with nice flats, little drop, that would work with a tt lever.

i usually buy a new bra when i need to upgrade my front end. har har har.
no, i had those horns too. dump em and go with the nitto short horns- way stiffer. |
Find a set of cr-mo drops from an old 12-speed and a pipe cutter and you're set... unless you're looking for something all classy-like (read: premade).

does anybody think that the stem could be contributing, or is the diameter too big...?
