Risers ? Nah, Im allergic to them I do have a lot of respect for the 80's rise as LGF has shown

Flat, Long, low and stetched out for me

When they make flat bars +30" wide i will find interest in them again

Not quite the post to bar ratio as some others like John's

Nothing like a low bar to grind down that power

And most of you say you don't ride that often,I'm not suprised,your either at the chiropractors or casualty

face it, some of us aren't getting any younger. and to be able to somewhat enjoy their retro steeds, they have to through on some risers to help. it's either that or get rid of the bike altogether. so which of the lesser of two evils should ppl pick?

These are my two main riders, the Orange E3 has flat bars, 135mm
stem and fits like a glove, i can ride it in comfort all day every day, i recently built
the Zaskar, initialy with flat bars (same 135mm stem), look at the
difference in height in the front ends despite both bikes being a similar
size, the Zaskar i could'nt ride more than an hour without my back and shoulders getting sore

And just to annoy some people and show it totaly ruined and looking completely sh!te here it is with the risers on which i had to fit to ride
it and save my back which i'd rather do than have it sitting in the
hallway gathering dust with flat bars on.

And anyone makes a comment like "but it looks sh!te anyway, it's a GT" will be getting a visit :twisted:
