I'm converting a Stumpjumper for commuting/touring and still not sure about the handlebars (I have trekking bars on order...).

Those are riser bars. I think I them picked up at Recycled Cycles a few years ago but I'm not sure. I could have gotten them when Olympic Sports shut down.

The bike is a 1983 Diamondback Ridge Runner mountain bike. It's not light. It was OK in it's day but not as nice as a Stumpjumper.
