Hi Kathi,

I guess I like the look of the straight handle bars along with something that doesn't quite have a mountain bike look - just me I guess.
Plus, when I tried the Treks and Specialized bikes with these handlebars - I liked it!

How expensive was it to make your stem higher?

Sorry, if my husband wasn't around - I probably would have a higher bike budget!

Thanks for your reply - I really appreciate it!
