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.

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!

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

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.

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?
