Mongoose beast handlebars
Hello all, recently I received a mongoose beast through a trade, and then promptly bent the pole thing that attaches the handlebars to the fork trying to squeeze the bike into a friend's 4Runner after a night out (I suppose tipsy me used a bit too much force) but my question is, can I just buy any piece to replace it, or is there a specific size I have to get? Also, what are those pieces called? Also, what would you guys think about going with a real shiny glossy black frame, and lime green rims?

The clamp that holds onto the handlebars is called the stem. If you bent that, you can buy a new one. If you bent the tube that is part of the fork (the stem clamps onto the top of this steerer tube), then you need a new fork, and it is best to take it to a local bike shop to have them check for any other damage.
Lime-green rims are fine, but go with hot pink frame and screaming yellow handlebars.

Just remember there are no stupid questions, but you will see a lot of stupid answers.

I know exactly where the public library is. However, as I am not a heroin addicted homeless person, I do not use it. The internet is just so much more fun, and convenient. Moreover, I enjoy using the internet, because I like most of the people I meet on it. You however, are not one of the ones I like
