They're nice light bars, and since I went to 400 width on the Focus, I've been OK with that. Taking an ounce or two off the NP won't hurt either.

Be careful, those things can be lethal.
Both the bars and the cold.

Odd thing to point out, given that LesterOfPuppets got his image from google, too.

We have a couple of big trees in our backyard that are coming down today. One is a big oak that is apparently too close to the house, the other is a big ash that has ash borer disease and at risk to fall on the house in the future.
Tree work is not cheap. The whole job is costing almost as much as a new crabon fiber bike with Dura Ace Di2.

Need to replace a kitchen faucet? You run to Lowe's, but a new one and change it out. You need to fell a 50' oak tree? I highly recommend not running to Lowe's for a chain saw and a pair of safety glasses.

Yeah. Everyone I have ever known who needed serious tree work has mentioned how expensive it is. It's one of those things that the overwhelming majority of people cannot do for themselves, even in this DIY age.

I know I saw his cursed seat post once.
disclaimer:
weird, It locked me out when I posted this earlier and it deleted the rest of my post. Sorry for posting this twice. It does not reflect me feelings towards this issue.
