Front end went on easily. Due to the bent rear fork, the bars are just too short. As a result, I had to take off a small piece near the brake. It does sit firmly and doesn't rattle and you don't get a mark on your back/ass. An option for longer rods (if the hardware stores were loose I could see if welding rods have the same but) would be nice.
These are great. Can be fitted to pretty much any road bike in minutes. Once on they fit tightly and don't rattle around at all.
