Do you know about www.bikesdirect.com yet?
That is where I will be ordering my bike from!

It looks like a riser bar will be more comfortable. When I rode a few track bikes, I found myself using the straight part only.

OK so with a riser bar I would want a mountain bike\bmx lever?



I wish there was a place that I could order brakes and levers as a package.
