Riser Bars

I wanted to get a riser bar for my bianchi pista, and I planned to cut them a little bit shorter. Is it worth investing in a good bar, or is it better to get a cheap? For cheap bars I was looking at these

I wouldn't trust a pair of risers that do not come with a listed barspinability rating.

Carbon is nice. Get the cheapest carbon risers you can find. Go for used ones with big gouges in them. They'll match your Rev-X.
