Here is one, But it's CF so it will talk alot of the harshness out of your aluminum frame. I would personally be looking for a CF post.
Say's its out of stock right now though Frown . I'll keep looking on CRC.

you really don't need durace cups, invest your money in wheels - that's where you will notice better performance


if you're into risers and upright riding position why don't you just get a hybrid bike or a commuter/tourer instead of making something into something it is not designed to be Very confused

exactly! hole point of a roadbike is high speed and aero dinamics not comfort and slow speed terning, risers and short stem will just slow you down(personal exsperience)

unless your getting bullhorns just get a longer stem seriusly! i put my stubby stem on my risers before and it felt abit twitchy at high speed terns, i felt better with my longer one, with tires that tern easier and less terning going on you want slower steering, atleest 90mm, 80mm will be pushin it, i think im right in saying 100mm is the average?

mine is about 90/100mm i think

depends on your top tube length and how tall you are for the bike aswell i guess

my origanal was something silly like a 140mm, i was like superman! then i went to a 60mm for my risers, felt loads better, but then tried my 90mm and its just right and way better when im going fast but at slow speeds when im cruising i feal stretched out, but with the short stem fast was awkwud but slow was nicer

on my peugoet conversions thats got a realy short frame and stem, going uphills and going flat out on that is just abit awkwud, but its realy only made for cruising...

Okay, well I'll upgrade to drops when I can afford STI Shifters and get used to riding a road bike too, I'm having risers to start off with to get used to the feel of 700c wheels, then when I do I'll change to drops.

before getting a road bike i sewriously recomend getting measured up to see what frame size fits you best


there are several bike size calculators online which i posted few times somwhere on pb and i'm just too lazy too look up again for them

getting a bike solely on a height measurement thou it could be right mostly is like getting a shoe size based on you height Razz
