(very odd if you have seen me )Probably be looking at in the region of £100 since it's been ridden few enough times to count on one hand and barely a markI ran a 110*10 stem with 17mm of stackers personally and it was great - that's with 29" Monty barsMowgli had a viz stem on his if I recall correctly, which sits at 120*17 (same as Trialtech) though I can't think what bars that's with off the top of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 100-120mm stem, mid rise, wide bars but with a fair bit of rise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 cheers guys... i have swapped over to the stem i had on the A2 with echo flat bars fitted and it feels real nice. Might look a bit high but with my knackered back it feels good!Here you go... 43 year old bloke actually manages a little gap to tyre!!! well, it's a start!!!
