If anyone was interested...steel Tange bars, $14.99
Handlebars Velomine.com : Worldwide Bicycle Shop, fixed gear track bike wheelsets campagnolo super record vintage bike

...44cm aluminum pista bars.

They won't be able to give those bars away.

Sorry...bottom of the page. I picked up 38cm steel bars.

Oh. Much better.

Great deal! I may pick some up as well, just because. :)

For those of us fortunate enough to have won a US National Championship:

These soccer socks exist:

I'm not gonna link to the site where I found the image because I'm not sure if it's a reputable ecommerce site.

But, if I'd ever won a US jersey, I'd rock these :D

Those would be too long for a UCI regulated event. The sock can't go higher than the middle point between the ankle and the knee (around the middle of your calf)

I make my own carbon shoes for this reason...you can do what you want to them spec wise... accommodates my foot shape issues and/or leg length discrepancy internally rather than building up the cleat mount

Nice! Any photos?

This is there most recent pair...lovely and comfortable

:eek: Those are indeed lovely! :love: Massive Kudos.
Any photos from the construction process?

Yes please on the the photos. I'm basically looking to do the same thing this summer. I've got the ability and time, and nothing on the market tickles my fancy at all.

Thanks for the photos daveoo88. Impressive!

See below.... i have few resources that i can use which is nice
Picture 1- insole and allowance for cleat mounts
2- Lay up of carbon
3- decoration carbon weave with a bag over ready for lamination
4- suction lamination

its a totally different process to that of your simmons/hanseeno shoes but the results are still fine for me

holy moly. those look gorgeous and incredibly refined.

Amazing!

Wow. What a nice hobby/skillset.

Those are gorgeous. That's a cool skill. Is that your day job, making carbon fiber stuff? That doesn't look like a garage setup to me.

Thanks the decorative carbon ones are nice but I prefer the stealth look lol. Nah I'm an Orthotist/prosthetist so I know how to work with carbon, measure and manufacture shoes, insoles etc....not a bad skill set to have when you have terrible feet...I'm thinking about maybe offering it to the public it would be nice to get feedback from other people on how they feel/perform

I'd be happy to serve as a guinea pig!

Same!

if your in the UK then we could come to an agreement... PM me if you want

that pesky ol' Atlantic Ocean is getting in the way... thanks though.

Doesn't get in my way though.
