Hello!

Just to stir it up in this forum (as seen on news on the webnews) i have a delicate issue i belive you guys on the forum can help me with.

Im looking for a new cockpit (stem & handlebars) , but im not sure how i whant it.
Demands on Stem is no degrees and 45mm as longest with a 31,8mm clamp, and Handlebars must have at least 35mm rise and as the most 55mm.

Give me any tip, not to light not to expensive and not to flashy.

Thanks up ahead, Pz!

I have a set of the spank royal sticks on a bike and have had good luck with them it really depends on what width you want the royal stick is 700 mm wide where as the spike 777 is you guessed it 777mm wide. bars are tricky because of the degree of bend everyone likes something a little different.So find a bike of your buddies and see how his bars feel or a bike at your LBS and go from there.

Well i know what degrees and angles i like but i dont whant to have what everyone else got, the asnwer bar there was nice but i dont really like the stems they do but the Spank Stem and the Answer handlebars sounds like an awsome combo.
