I think my Sunlite north road handlebars cost about $30. That and about $12 for new cables and cable housing and he's good to go. Add a labor charge if the LBS installs it.
By the way, the north road style handlebars are for a 25.4 mm stem clamp.
Here are some more pictures, I was told that the stem is at the maximum height (For safety). Do you think those handlebars will work fine? Do I need to buy a stem extension?
