added to my wish list   :beer:


really? look terrible imo. bolt ends sticking out = pain!

Japanese headband around the stem FTW!  :ph34r:



griOt, do you have any info on the weight and the distance between the botton of the stem and the center of the griptube? Thanks!

Unfortunately I do not, feel free to email them!  info@quamenbikes.com

Looks good, I like it !

But those bolts popping out... It could have more material back there to make it smoother..

it is insane, but so is the cost of materials lately. more welds=more cost, also.

Is there enough space to accommodate large compression bolts such as KHE?

As long as the top of the compression bolt is narrower than the diameter of a regular headset spacer, you should be fine.

The bolts on this one are nicely tucked in, that's how it should be.

who gives a rats ass about a knee sunken bolts - most riders use stem covers of some sorts anyways

I just want them to address why we should pay $150 for handlebars that doesn't include a stem, grips, barends and TI bolts  :angry: :huh:
