Chrome Riser Bars?

Any suggestions for chrome riser bars? Most are black or some sort of matte finish. Going to try out a cheap pair and see how they work and if they relieve my wrist pain, go for some nice chrome ones but am having a hard time finding any.

Wald has uber-cheap chrome risers, and they aren't very wide either.

Do you want chrome?

Dimension has great polished aluminum bars for $20.

Chrome is thick and heavy and is put on even thicker and heavier pig iron bars.

You will gain weight and shiny-ness.

All oother gains would be the same with Al.

nashbar has a riser bar set that comes in silver and black, also you can get an anodized riser and strip the black anodize off, 15 buck for the chemicals to get it off, although easier just to buy a silver set......oh also check jenson

Poppped by a local bike shop and picked up a pair of silver Kalloys for pretty cheap.

Seem like they will work well. Ride 'em for a day or so and chop 'em down and slap some Ourys on them if I like 'em.
