I really like those bars. I've got a pair of cut down road bars flipped over and was thinking of purchasing some real bullhorns. I'm gonna assume that a shorter stem is in need so as not to stretch you out so much?

no ****...those things look wide enough to catch a many cab doors you could ever want. I had a set or 40s, but kicked 'em to the curb for my reliable drops.

they look a lot like my Profile Airwings but with a little more drop. What's so special about these?

Rare because they are Mavic's. Besides, I still mentally see them mounted on Lemond's 89 TT bike along with the infamous clip-ons. But the bullhorns are what raised my eyebrows.

they have a real nice drop, are drilled for internal cables and they are not that wide (i asked): 40cm. i wouldnt have told you all this because i was gonna bid on them (i still might) but i just bought a set of syntace stratos with 800mm drop for $50 at www.downtube.com

also i think the 'extra narrow bars' fad is dumb. what-- like you are squeezing between city buses every five minutes and that extra centimeter is really gonna make that life or death difference? pssh, whatever. its just dumb snobbery the same as anti-brake bull****.

Damn, and I thought my bars were low.

yeah they sure are low. i am hoping they will work out but they might reduce the number of possible hand positions depending on what ange the dropped section has...

unfortunately they might not even arrive before i leave for berlin on saturday. :(

I guess I didn't stress my sarcasm enough in the right places. 800mm is 31.5 inches of drop!!!

Let's see....whats in this box here for possible future fixie/singlespeed usage.....Mavic brakes.....Mavic road bars....bottom bracket....headset....White Turbo saddle......

That old late 80's Mavic stuff is sh1t hot. I had a whole 8 speed indexed gruppo once, and only have the brakes, bars and derailleurs left now. Can believe I sold the cranks. They were dumb, but they sure do look cool.

Anyone know if Mavic ever made track hubs?

Yes, they did. Low-flange, beautiful stuff. Saw a set on ebay a month or so ago, sold for around $150ish.
