So i'm nearing my build, my first build. I might do a "my first build" thread, or just post some pics after its done.

I got handlebars and a stem for it, but I got it in a hurry (at the time) off ebay. I didn't pay enough attention and turned out that the stem has an insanely sharp angle. And its for 25.4 bars. The bar is that size too. So i decided to go ahead and buy some proper gear instead. I'm not upset because I paid no more than $10 for the bars and stem in the first place. I'll use them for a single speed build I'm planning, or something like that.

So I'm doing 31.8 bars/stem. I did some calculations and i think i'm going with 100-110mm stem. Not sure of the degree angle, maybe 6-10. But I figured i might as well have a collection of stems to keep around.

Now to the bars. How wide? I'm leaning towards narrow bars for some reason. why woudl anyone want 48cm wide bars? Unless theyre a very tall and big person. I'm about 5'8-5'9, and i think it would be more comfortable with liek a 40cm bar.

But then again i don't have experience. What do you guys think? whats a good medium?
