I just clicked on the SJS link and searched under handlebars and they do ritchey risers for £14.99, Chainreaction have Brand X risers in the sale for £9.99. I'm sure other companies will do cheap risers too if you search around. Mine started life as 2nd hand RaceFace ones, I removed the black anodising with the most caustic oven cleaner I could find (wear gloves) and some wire wool.

halfords whitechapel - no
bikemagic - nope only black
cheap arse shop on hackney rd: 15 for piece of shite bars that have been used
blb - refuse to go in there

I have a set of risers that I might be tempted to sell at the right price.
They're chopped nitto ones in chrome and would come with grips & a stem though as I can't be arsed to remove either. I could take a picture and think about a price for you at some point next week if I'm back in London.

Booga - couldn't find any silvers on SJS but there was this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=2211 on Chain Reaction. How hard is it to chop a set of bars anyway?
Wibble - sounds perfect - lmk when you have a price.
Dayno - if I find a land of milk honey and risers we are going to PLUNDER THAT SHIT Y0.

Hmm, I'm also on the hunt for some cheap silver risers... Proving a tall order I'll tell you.
And those Chain Reaction ones are only available in black! FFS!

I got a cheap set of black risers of a forum somewhere, much emery cloth and wire wool later they are now polished alloy. For chopping them I advise a hacksaw and some elbow grease...

Guys, chopping bars is easy if you can use a tape measure and a hacksaw! :)
You can remove black anodising by spraying the bars with the most powerful oven cleaner you can find, letting it soak, rubbing with wire wool and repeating until the anodising has gone. Or you could always use silver spray paint!

fark it, gonna order some nitto riser silver from tracksupermarket for £26 all in..... be here on monday!
Doesn't have to be pimping, just something comfortable. Not so chopped that I can't put a brake on there - ich nicht haben das brakless. Size doesn't matter, I have shims. Pref in London.
What have you. WHAT HAVE YOU I SAY?
