who takes a pic from the non-drive side? and then gets a tattoo of it? gauche, man. 
when i have a pair of bars taped up on a quill stem or some ourys nicely installed, i often just pull out the whole stem/bar combo and put in a different one when i want to switch between risers and drops. much faster and easier and you don't have to disturb your tape/grips.

I'll give you $150, plus those compromising pictures of you with that "someone who isn't your girlfriend."

I (almost) always run a brake, too, except for my joke 650C barspin-fail setup, so I have two bar/stem combos with a brake attached too, and one brakeless barspin stem/bar setup.

Wow, that poor frame.
Initially I thought, looks cool, bars suck... Upon inspection, drips in paint, looks like it wasn't masked off properly (look at the lugs)...

bbattle: are you saying the bike is a knock-off with fake decals? not familiar with confente frames.
if so, that's weak.

For the money though, there's some potential in that bike, methinks. Just, the sketchy paint job and decals hint at something more sinister. Also, is that possibly a suicide hub in the back, judging by the quick releases?

That frame is actually pretty nice. Did anyone else catch the Campagnolo dropouts? I have a feeling there is alot of chrome underneath that ugly paint too. The components aren't too shaby either. I'm guessing it is made from pretty good tubing. If the guy would just flip his bullhorns back around and strip off the fake stickers he would probably sell that thing alot quicker.

Goes great with emo haircuts.
