anthony is spot on as usual, i was looking for a hei hei but settled with this as it satasfies my kona fetish. the stem i had befour the frame and i have being trying to find a use for it. you have comfermed what i was thinking and it will have to go. im now thinking black hope stem.
im not convinced on flat bars yet though. risers are quite new for me and i found them to be realy comfy, ive always ridden with barends i use them all the time to spread my hands out on over long rides and climbing obviously. to ride without them is like leaveing the house without your watch on, though i will give it a go just for you guys.
really though i find it a bit strainge the reaction to the riser barend combo. its the first time ive come across that kind of thinking, personaly i would never dream of puting drop bars on a mtb. mabey if i had a sponser and won lots of races eveyone would be using combos like that
only kidding, you might even get me into some lycra next!
im dying to get out on it at the moment, im working round the clock and right up till the 24th, whitch i should be greatfull for i spose. so it wont be till after chrismass now. im thinking of wraping it up for myself for chrismass day
ayway ive got you guys to thank for it becouse if it wasen't for this site id still be riding my cindercone. cheers
