Hi all. I have a LeMond Fillmore which I have been riding fixed for a few months and loving it! I have recently come into possession of some bars which I would love to fit to my bike, my first foray into modification.

I am reliably informed I have a 1 1/8" A Head fork, and the bars I want to fit are 24.8mm dia.

Does anyone know if/how this is possible? What kind of stem should I be looking for? Any help greatly appreciated

I see... yes, well, thank you for your immediate response. The friendly and helpful chap at Brick Lane Bikes seemed to think this might be a rather rare item, any of you fellows know where I could pick one up/track one down?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
