They are everywhere. In plenty of different colors. Look at MTB gear, for example

sorsha6 03-06-07 01:20 PM

nice, thanks... too bad that orange one's not in stock, it'd be perfect...

You're killin me Gregg, put the drops back on!

I got mine for free from the scraps bin at my lbs. love them so much. I also switch out my bars every couple of weeks though, going between drops, bullhorns, risers, sometimes super wide cruiser bars... depends on my mood and where I'm riding.

gold risers and the matching stem I think these things are neat

sorsha6 03-06-07 04:03 PM

i really like those stems... i'm putting a bmx crankset on my bike... maybe they wouldn't look too stupid with them..

dutret 03-06-07 04:04 PM

hope it has a long tt.

sorsha6 03-06-07 04:07 PM

yeah it doesn't really, which is why i'd probably not get one. it would look cool, though. oh well.

Shiznaz 03-06-07 04:11 PM

My spicer has such a long TT I had to buy the shortest 26.0 stem I could possibly find. I don't think I've ever seen such a long top tube.. its like 62cm long! At least theres no toe overlap!

DoshKel 03-06-07 05:03 PM

Get the 0cm stem. Those things are so damn cool.

Shiznaz 03-06-07 05:06 PM

I was thinking about that! Even better is to then attach a steering wheel to the bike. Lots of hand positions!

Hell no, my back thanks me for the upright position. The drops are for the track only

just to make sure my eyes aren't fooling me....that's a quill stem right? do you know where to get one?

JaredG 03-06-07 05:50 PM

i'm assuming risers with drop stems are purely asthetic... its kindof redundant to use that set up...
i have a drop stem, but i prefer to run a flat bar on it... or else i'd just put a 73 degree on there...

no disrespect meant, i like the look, but i just can't justify it as reasonable.

truth

UGLY!
700c bikes with risers always look funny, like somethings missing. I ride mustache bars on my freewheel ss commuter, does anyone ride them fixed?

Yeah, i actually bought mine at Kalavinka. Theyre anodized. They were like 50 bucks though..not cheap.

Why no riser stems to go with the riser bars?

I'll have to borrow a camera to show my bike with a riser stem AND riser bars. And fat tires.
