I serioulsy doubt the owner hardly ever even uses the part of the track bar that is actually wrapped. This bike is somewhere in the illogical space between trendy and practical. Of course that is perfectly fine, especially if it was assembled with whatever parts the owner had laying around. But still, its just not really a very good setup.

who cares, i hope he rides it
