i think you meant to post the pictures here (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=274916&page=37)
totally kidding.

i dig it overall. is there any reason the bars are so narrow though. what type of saddle are planning to throw on that whip?

iam used to the bars that way. they feel better scooting past cars and people cuz their not sticking out.. im gonna get a selle race seat for it. cant find one aroung here for my price range tho

I hope it's pretty flat where you live, or else those bars are gonna freaking destroy you on the first climb.

friend of mine just picked up that same frame, same decal, same color a few weeks ago, we got it together nice, and it's a great ride. Grats on the IRO.

i got two boxes of chocolate milk and some twinkies, wanna trade?

i think a red seatpost and silver seat with red accents would be sweet on there.

and some red crankbros pedals.

and yet i notice that your valves are not lined up with your tire logos. i'd fix that up before the hipsters see it! :)

the bars are too short
you have no room for a brake lever, but you have a front brake
you are posting pictures in the wrong thread
you are posting pictures but you are not yet finished with the bike

in summary, you fail at life

let's not jump to conclusions. maybe he's mounting the brake lever on the top tube. or better yet the seatpost.

mount the brake on the fork end.

Why is there a park of the fork sticking up from the headset?

yea im waiting for the seat before i cut the rest of the fork off. and im going to be putting differnt bars on it probally some riser bars so i can fit the brake lever on it

For different length head tubes?

Didn't you just say earlier in the post that you like your bars that way? Did you just now notice that the lemmings changed direction?

for serious. at least he's wised up though.

i havn't run into too many situations where normal-width bars won't fit through gaps.

Wait, is this serious? Only hipsters line up their valves?

I'm thinking this kid doesn't have too many cycling friends outside of the coffeeshop variety.

There is room to mount a cross lever. However, I do agree those bars are impractically narrow. Good thing I am not riding it, so it doesn't matter.

no. only hipsters call you on your logos not being lined up with your valves.

I've always wanted to see someone ride along with bars that narrow to "get between cars in traffic" only to have their ass get stuck in the gap their handlebars so ably cleared.

ok, i need you to stop whatever it is you're doing right now and define "hipster".

all of you.

should've kept reading.

but yeah, you obviously don't know any cyclists.

or hipsters, for that matter.
