https://www.aerofixcycles.com/AeroFix...Fix_s/1817.htm
I found this link through craigslist.
I am wondering if it is a decent bike to ride locally, short distances to and from work perhaps.
Are they made well? Do they use decent parts?

You could get a higher quality bike for the same price(or less) at bikesdirect.com.

I'll let someone else explain why some of the BD bikes are better than Aerofixwhatever. I'm on the way out the door.

every single part is a little bit better, thus making the bike a little bit better. often your repairs to a cheap bike will double what you would have spent on a better and (yes) more expensive bike in the first place. that's why I only buy $25,000 bikes now, they have to be better right?

So are you looking for new bars for your bike or a whole new bike?
I recommend a Moto Track or Windsor The Hour to compare to the tanks you linked to.
If you get either of those get a 25.4 bar - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_saca...iser+bars+25.4 You'll probably need to cut it down with a pipe cutter or hacksaw and add some grips (oury).
reading and searching does a body good. -

STEM
Specialized EliteSet, 3D forged alloy, 12-degree, 4-position adjustable, 4-bolt, 31.8mm clamp
*I am actually selling a some cut riser bars with white oury grips if you don't mind the color.

good luck.

Although that doesn't make any sense, The levers are curved to give you adequate room to pull the lever, as well as make them comfortable.

Parallel?
Straight:

But for 22.2 bar diameter.
Will someone please photoshop a perpendicular brake lever?
