Thanks! Yeah, I'm about 6'2" and all legs -- I was really lucky to find that bike in my size. |
only 6'2? and it fits you well?

i loved my risers when i used them, but now i am back to bullhorns for better climbing reasons. i've also always thought that the "exact same position on the tops of drops or bullhorns" argument is stupid because you aren't in the exact position. unless the "risers" you are riding aren't risers at all, but are just flat bars with 6 inches on either side, then, no, that is not the exact same position. risers have their advantages (upright riding position, better visibility to cars) and their disadvantages (not many hand positions, hard to climb with). to each their own. also, LOL @ people who ride track bikes on the street and complain that "risers don't belong on track bikes." |
so by that standard, a concept is not a track bike? or a TK2? stfu.

i just put a new set of DMR Wingbars on my ride. cut em to like 17". they seem like good bars for 40 bucks.

I like easton monkeylite carbon risers chopped to about 16" across. Took me a while to find the perfect bars. The carbon is really thick and cuts fine, remains strong.

stock length of the B-259AA's. i was planning on chopping them down a little bit, but they ended up being perfect for me. longer grips give plenty of hand positions, so when i want to get close to the stem i can. i don't see any advantage to having them shorter than this.

Yeah, I think they are Kalloy. Have worked fine for me... And I think they were only 10 or 12 bucks.

worth a shot,
I'm probably going to get flamed for it, but I prefer a very very slight rise flat bar on a quil stem. My bike is so comfortable I find it difficult to even test ride other peoples bikes.

to me that looks like the most un-********-comfortable handlebar setup ever.
