budget   one piece sugino type with bb could be as little as £30 
average 3 piece from £50/100 inc twin pinch flights
good 3 piece from £150  to the heavens but full wraps you can get £200/50 depending if they need re chrome
but one piece is good

step away from the haro fusion stem imho
a suntour or pro neck would be much more suited

looks great on most bikes in my opinion :daumenhoch:
its up to the person building it but i personally think a fusions to new for the build.
 others might disagree

stem - go with Tuff Neck or Hutch for great results

Title: Re: advice
Post by: stu27 on August 16, 2008, 07:22 PM

they might be out my budget

yes not too cheap, think, although don't know mid at all, that Haro fusion is based on hutch long reach, if neccessary cover with a skyway stem pad, from sides could look same as a hutch or tuff??? depends how critical detail is? thats the road i'd follow on a budget.

the fusion if nos will most likely sell for as much as a suntour powerstem, sell the fusion, buy a suntour, right for the bike on your budget.

get polished though, not black....unless you can afford a red or blue one, depending on what your colour scheme is.
