Re:
They're pretty much the same in terms of rise, etc, may swap them across if I ever find some silver risers for the Breezer that I'm happy with. Overall I'm happy enough with cockpit on this as is, just needs some tweaking possibly.

Think of the aesthetic. Would look lovely and they do clash a little on the Breezer.
Only my view mind. You bike your build.

Re:
Yep, agree completely, they do clash on the Breezer, but there's nothing else to go on him at the mo, and at least he's usable that way....not that I've ridden him much :facepalm:
Want to keep the black and blue theme going on the Jamis, and those Syncros bars are lighter than the X Lites, ironically. Will have a rethink at some point as other bits turn up. Looks like I may have a different stem on the way, see what that does for it reach wise.

Re:
Final incarnation! I think....
Changed: saddle for something more comfy, prettier stem, and now has a full compliment of 24 working gears, courtesy of a very cheap and lovely XT front mech - may need some tweaking to stop chain catching in certain gears, but amazingly no cable and adjustment screws needed messing about with, first time ever I have had a full compliment of gear with no swear words!
Also needs an in line seat post to get the reach right, or/and maybe an even shorter, higher rise stem. Dad has a spare in line post so may try that first....
If you're only ever going to have a collection of two bikes, surely these are the two, for pure practicality and colour coordination....

Lovely but you know what I'm going to say so I'm not saying it.
But I am.

Always got these risers if you prefer, the pinky red would look great with the green

Re:
Thanks, but THM will go crazy if I don't get silver...
They will get changed for something more in keeping just as soon as something I like in the right weight turns up, but as the bike isn't being ridden due to work and all sorts of other commitments, I'm not going to make any effort to find them right now...
