Was it the dude that works at the W hotel?

yea ...a concierge. with a fly samson.

my new babe. i like it like this the most even thought bullhorns give risers a run for their $.

rookie question. I just put some risers on. Not sure what the rule of thumb is for the stem height adjustment. Or is it just personal preference? I see every on this forum has their stem all the way down?

But seriously put them where it feels right.

it just so happens that mine feel perfect where they are. usually on my other bike the stem is a lil higher. but yea do what feels right.

A few crappy office shots of the risers on my new ride. They are 1.5 inchers OS in a Thomson X2. Stiff and light.....

that looks very nice

Thanks man!
They feel great....
I was pricing risers and the OS sizes are the same price as the regs.
Plus I had a big crush on the X2 stems.

when do we get to see some full shots? i'm interested
in seeing the color scheme in its full glory.

Very soon...
I will put some photos up here and in the Pics thread. I will get some good photos (in her full black and celeste glory) on Friday when it is not raining like crazy.

...ausgezeichnet...

Nice....did you cut down the bars? How many centimeters wide are they? My flat bars are 48cm...just wondering how narrow you can get risers without having the grips on the riser bend.

They are right at about 44 cm, they come stock as airplane wings at 68.5cm. I took a good bit off with a tubing cutter. They are not expensive bars and very light, stiff, and burly.

that bike is dope!
what size is it?
you should take those hideous velocity stickers off....

It's 58cm. A little bigger than I wanted, but it works. Yes, I will take the stickers off.

she is a beauty, either way

update:

Photoshop out the shadow in the last pic and it'd be a sick pic.

lonely bike ^

good idea man, will give it a try!
that is the back of this lonely bowling alley in Louisville, though it complemented well...

Hello
This in my old MTB converted to fixed gear with 700c wheels and FSA riser bars cut to 50 cm (that's 20 inches)

Risers are awful.

I'm sorry, you want the Riser Hate Club thread.
Honest mistake, I'm sure.
