Some stems & bars have the size printed on them.
Yeah,I forgot to put a link..
I'll make some measurements.
Don't worry about allen wrench,my cousin has many of them and I guess he'll help me.

What will you do when you get a flat?

Seriously, if $5 is expensive to you, you should get a job, so you can maintain your bike. If I were you, I'd get some cheap handlebars from a rust bucket and then sell the bike. It is obvious you cannot afford to keep it.

You didn't understand me right.
I won't take even 1 dollar to buy me something.
I keep all my money and give it to my mom.
I can't find a job..
I got scammed in one job like 2 weeks ago and I won't work anymore untill I find a normal job.
Believe me..I worked enough for now.

Notice how stuntx responds to others: someone offers some advice/suggestion/question along one direction, and stuntx responds with an irrelevancy along a different orthogonal direction, while ignoring the others' intent.

I'm going to use that one..."I've worked enough..."

And I thought this attitude was limited to the modern teens of America.

And that after a bad experience at only one job. Most people would be thus motivated to find a really good job after that.
