Convert My Road Bike cichlid Feb 17th, 09, 07:38 AM #1 (permalink)
Hi

I'm considering to convert my road bike's handlebar to mountain bike types. The reason is I want a more comfortable riding posture.

I have a triple crankset and 8 speed at the back.

Any idea how much will it cost to convert it?

Ok an update.

I called my usual shop and was quoted about $80 to get it changed. The handle bar and shifters etc included.

Which brand of handlebars do you want?If branded carbon or titanium ones are what you are looking for go tampines Block 139 Tay cycle.They have a variety of bars for you to choose.However if you just want a normal one go to those normal shops in neighbourhood area can liao.Around $70 handlebars,shifters and alloy brake levers in a shop at ang mo kio ave 10
Any enquiry ask me i also chiong bicycle one.
