turns out that my stem size is 26.0mm, i went to a local bike shop and asked. ill find a bar that fits that size and then look for some brakes and shifters. if you have a few minutes to spare, would you be able to link me a few brakes and shifters that you think will work? my current shifters are attached to my stem, if that helps at all... maybe i can keep the shifters there and not change them?
