I am just putting the bike together but have an XLite XC riser handlebar.
I like the way it feels but can't but help and wonder whether a flat bar would probably suit the bike more (considering the stem) or look better?
So what do you reckon? leave it as it is? or source a flat handlebar?
{Personal comfort is not an issue as Im happy with both styles of bar.
I've included a pic of a similar bike from a RSP catalogue (with flat bar) another later catalogue model, and Bikemeister2000's version for comparison.
if so - what flat bar should I go for?
cheers
(ps. My bike hasn't been finished - hoses unsecured and no brake cables as yet fitted)
