Echo-Scott Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You could just tilt your bars really far forward like what half of Inverness has already done. Will make the bike feel a bit longer but will have lower bar height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 echo team stem and monty 221ti bars extended to 30 inch, maybe onza carbon risers, or zoo if your into that, the new uns dont have much rise though, so a t master stem might be needed.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Monty bar's and stem, or monty stem with try all rage bars would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 On a short bike its got to be riser bars without doubt. Montys are my preference. Ive been on tartyadams dob and that rides so nice. He changed from a monty stem to a tms one as he says it suits the geo well and it does. It is preference though. Seeing as its a short frame i think a long high stem suits well as it makes the bike not feel super tiny and also lets you pull the front up nicely.Ring adam up and have a chat to him.

JohnBanks Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi,Well I am on a t-pro with a wheelbase of exactly 1000 and I use Echo Team stem and Czar Riser bar. It feels very nice compared with the standard t-pro bar and stem that I was using previously.Hope his help,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TMS one I have is 150 x 30 and works well. Don't forget also that the back end of the DOB is 350 (13mm shorter than most) so the front end is effectively longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
