My first fixed gear. I went the cliche' Pista route. Stripped it down to chrome, put some riser bars on it, and haven't done a whole lot else.
Trading up later this week for a SE Lager White...which I'll probably screw with.
Also...yes, I'm aware my seat is pushed down all the way. I had just got done stripping clearcoat/decals and had it pushed down while working on it.

Nice bike! I didn't know you could get the Crystal Fellow in black. Is it custom?
Yeah it was on limited release by T19 (originally a skateboard company in Tokyo). They also did a crystal fellow stem as well as aluminum B123AA or riser handlebars in black or blue....

Yeah it's for the front brake, which was a bit big and scratched the DT

"HI STEVE!! I think ur bike cost more than the Exige"
Thanks for the compliment, but my bike wasn't too expensive! The frame was a good deal, around $700 from Gabe at NJS export here in Japan... You look at the latest carbon Tour-style bikes and maybe you get close to Exige prices....

Decided to flip over my bullhorns just for fun, but to me surprise these are actually a lot more comfortable. Too bad it look a little goofy, but i think i might keep it that way.

take tubing cutters and cut off the ends of the bars where they turn up a little (cheap promenade bars) and put some cruiser grips on that bad boy and role baby

Did you move out to Kichijoji area? I usually head over to Yoyogi for greenery. I'll be moving to Hiroo soon which is a lot better for family life.

it's a company that makes bike parts. The black and gold bike posted above is based on a track frame made by Leader. They make a couple of different track frames. You can buy their stuff online, just google it.

Done. I kept the bartape though since i have no cruiser grips. However the bike looks ace with the edges cut out, plus it's roughly five times more comfortable

the tilt of my upper body doesn't have an effect on my lower body. When I switch from drops to bullhorns, etc, I don't notice any difference w/ my knees. Such forward bars would hurt other body parts more so than it would the knees.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I just realized you are probably referring to the fact that it would be easy to bang one's knees on the bars in that position. I didn't think of that
