I agree, but it's the diameter of the bar that is the problem, if I can get it to tighten up enough that it doesn't slip, will leave it like it is, although I have a bar similar to the top photo in the link Miamijim furnished. Trying to keep costs to a minimum of course.
Randyjawa and Miamijim, thanks for the info and the link, measured the seat tube, its a 57cm which matches the last two digits on the sticker on chain stay.
