Nemesis Project Cycles has a new lineup of riser handlebars for 2009. Their new selection will consist of three different raisers – The “lil Weezy’s”, “Nem-Pro street bar”, and the “Weezy Jefferson moving on up bar” – all differing in size. Each Handlebar is crafted with TrueTemper alloy’s, which makes for one hell of a tough handlebar.

Solid colors include: White, Gloss black, Fluro Pink, Vicious Blue, and Mint; and the translucent over raw metal handlebars will be offered in Red, Blue, Green, Purple, and Brown.
