Maybe it's a bad angle, but that fork looks like it's seen a few too many cars.

I wonder if it's just because Gary F. and Mr White have such photogenic subjects. Love the bikes, Gary!!!

I was having a friendly conversation with another rider whose bike has ridiculously short riser bars, and he explained that he rests his elbows on the bars when he's climbing. Seriously, WTF?

one month to go with the 'halo' then another few months in a less obtrusive brace.

Hope to be back racing next year.

Maybe these bikes are related?

Hi mrwhite,

I think these bikes are related. Hillman's are classic Australian track bikes. Yours is a great example.

How do you like those bars with that bike? I'm thinking about doing the same to an old Dave Scott.

You can get Mutant stems for $10-$20 regularly on eBay. I paid $15 for one.
