Wanted: Short stems and bars

[Triskeliongirl]

Hey guys, a friend just bought his young son a new bike for christmas, and he is facing the problems many of us face, too long a reach to the brake levers. It came with a longish stem and bars, so we are thinking if we can replace them with a short stem and bars like a salsa poco or ttt eva bar it will work for him until he grows a bit more. Maybe interupter levels would also help. He brought it back to the LBS, but since it was a 2006 closeout they wouldn't swap anything. It broke his budget to just buy the bike, so I am checking around if anyone has any shorty road stems 5-7cm threadless, 36-38cm salsa poco bars, or interupter levers not being used they would be interested in selling. Please PM me if you can help. -e
