Turns out they used BMX specs for the fork and I needed a 7/8” stem. My point is, check the stem before you decide to do anything with your cockpit.
I now have a 7/8” Bullmoose handlebar hanging around...
Oh, and shiny fenders look pretty awesome on chrome bikes.
Indeed the stem is 7/8. I had a Nitto DD turned down to fit my ATB. It was a sw8 bike but I gave it to a friend who wanted to get back into cycling.
