    I've been eying this guy's listing on craigslist, he's selling a bunch of pieces cheap:

    But I don't want to drive to Alexandria.

    Do any of your flat bars have risers on them? I've been looking for a higher riser flat bar.

    I have a couple sets of longer cranks that I've swapped out for 165's, probably about 5 drop bars, 1 mustache style bar. A couple of terry saddles that didn't work. I seem to accumulate front derailleurs & rear derailleurs, so I've got 4 or 5 of those. Seatposts I have, but I tend to just keep them around. I have a plethora of stems.

    I've switched all my bikes to 172.5 cranks. It's hard to believe that 2.5mm really matters that much.

    I think at least one of the bars has some rise. How much are you looking for?

    Any chance you have a 27.2 seatpost with zero setback?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I can't believe you have 172.5 cranks. My knees only like 165's and you're not that much taller than me.

    I've got a 16 degree 120 mm stem on my surly - so any rise is better than the no rise that's on it now.

    I have 2 - 0 degree setback seatposts - but they're not especially nice & they're not carbon. One's a felt aluminum one - one bolt in the front & one in the back to adjust it. The second is a titec knock rated one that is a bit on the heavy side, but has never been used.

    Doesn't need to be carbon, but nice alloy (black), fairly light would be preferred.

    I've got a 25.4 bar with about a 20mm rise, 24 inch width.

    I just weighed the felt - it's 8 ounces about, I don't think that's very light. But you're welcome to have it till you find something lighter.

    I'll go eyeball what 20mm rise translates into.

    Catriona, I just found another bar: it's a Ritchey Extreme Conditions, 25 inches end to end, has something like a 40mm rise.

    That actually sounds like it would work great. How much did you want for them? Will you be at the WABA bike swap?

    I seriously need to stop buying bikes or parts.
