In that vein: all three of my $10 seatposts do excellent jobs of holding my seats to my bikes.

But just think of how much LIGHTER your bike is because you're using a Thomson seatpost. Especially since you cut so much off of it!
I think we're flogging a dead goat here... er dead horse or whatever.

My seatpost cost $5 because they found it on the floor in the back of the shop.
It also holds my seat quite well.

Have a look at the Roox Torque bar. They're very strong.
On their website (www.roox.at), they say they'll present the 2003 product line on September 10th...i.e.: tomorrow

I'll probably cut my bars to 24", im grabbing my bars at that width now and I'd like to grab a little closer.
Don, that would be cool if you could post up some photos of your setup. thanks.
NRJP - yea, I'll grab a pic tonite. BTW, those DMR bars look dope. I wish DMR stuff was ez to get in the states.
24" = just right.

Dude, flogging goats is just wrong. Leave your g/f out of this. Anyways, my $10 seatposts don't work so hot, but i can live with it. Just don't get Big Cheese bars. Unless you want to take a big fall. They are straight up scary.

Sorry about the wait and unclear pics but here are a couple.
ya, I have an extra atomic stem dinsy ahaaaa!!
Those thompson ones are damn ugly. Your bmx stem is 1" so have a machine shop bore it out to 1 1/8' so then you can use protapers or eastons or any non breaking/bending bar. Thats what I did when I had a DK jumping stem...you should have enough material on there to do it, but the shop will tell you
