Why O why do you hipsters put riser bars on a negative stem?!
It is not only a kludge, it looks awful!
You have two brakes though, very respectable!

Ok, first and foremost, I am not a hipster. I do not wear skinny jeans, big sunglasses, vinyl shoes and I dont smoke so im ruled out as a hipster.
Second, I tried using a more flat stem with this application. the ID of the fork steerer is less than 22.2mm so my other stem did not fit. This is the stem that came with the bike originally. I used what worked.
Third, I built ths bike for $80 using found parts and stuff from my bucket. It was not ment to be anything but a project to keep a smile on my face while its freezing outside. I ended up liking the bike in the end.
Forth, I like it so thats all that matters.
Im not trying to sound like a dick but just saying there is a reason I built it like that.
