its an a-head stem im building a singlespeed road bike to get to work on and want to use bmx stem. ive found out they are 22.2 clamping size but most bars in a straight or road bike style have a largr clamping area. i just need to find a company that makes suitable bars now.

annd swaz thanks for your offer but im building up a modern road bike so them bars wouldnt be any help good to me.

Try looking at junior race bikes, They range from 2 inch rise up to 4 inch without a cross bar, Should be strong enough for a FIXIE to ride to work on. :LolLolLolLol:
Or have a look at these
