Strengths: Good strong design and easy to install. I was able to raise the bar 3 inches with no cable mods. I was concerned that it would be weaker than the stock setup, but after installing and riding, my concerns are gone.Weaknesses: Not as pretty as replacing the stem/bar but a lot cheaper and easier.Bottom Line:
Works as advertised.

Strengths: Raises bars up to seat level for those of us with back problems, greatly increasing comfort.Weaknesses: Weight. Fashion police may disapprove, but who cares?Bottom Line: I bought my Poprad because I wanted a versatile road bike that could handle wider tires for light trail use, like the Katy trail. It came with the standard racer set-up, seat nearly 3 inches above bars when set up for my 35" inseam. Way too high for my bad back. After trying riser stems that didn't raise them enough, I got one of these and have been happy ever since. It's an inexpensive solution, but check your cable lengths as they may need to be lengthened.
Favorite Trail: lots of 'em

Strengths: It works. Works as a small storage space for money.Weaknesses: "Untraditional" Beware the stem police! Adds a bit of weight, but heck....Bottom Line: Was over zealous when cutting my fork steerer...there was no turning back. It either meant I had to get a new fork or get the Delta. I went for the cheaper solution. Easy to install with a good range of adjustability. Haven't been to a chiropractor for awhile either! An overall good solution, makes one wonder why nobody else makes it...hmmm.
