Yup, returning stuff from Amazon is really easy. If it doesn't look like the pic, that's a fine reason to.

Unless it cost less than a spent roll of toilet paper and a foot of duct tape, you should still return it

Today I put my liberated risers on my bike. Just have to go and get myself some grips here tomorrow. Kind of excited to finally try a pair of risers.

Yours were probably nice-ish though. These things weigh like 8 lbs. Woof.

Never really been much of a fan. I have some risers as well but they just collect dust.

But that is because I want to feel like a track star when i am rolling through campus.

Today, I am debating if I should put on my Nitto Noodles instead of the FSA Wing Pro's (with hoods) on my Kagero if I can find a brake lever that fits on the middle part of the bar.

As much as I hate the term butterface, I do agree.

I bought a plaid wool bowtie tonight and like it. When we got home, my wife handed me a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to wear for about five years. They fit again. I'm so stoked.
