Hehe yeah i was wondering where the brakes were too.
But if youve got bullhorns like that, cars will most likely get out of your way. You need like some spikes at the end of them horns!

In other news, my bianchi is almost finished, I just need handlebars, brake levers, brakes, tires and a chain. I'll have enough money to buy all of this in about a month.

WOOHOO!

Buy these! then give me one!

Holy crap, it's past $200 USD now... !

P.S bullhorns or drop bars?

whatever you are most comfortable with. drops are the most versatile and give the most hand positions, but bullhorns look nice and give a good position as well. I'm bidding on a set of sweet mavic hullhorns for my brakeless winter bike, but once the summer comes they will probably go onto my nicer bike.

If all goes according to plan, I will have swapped off my drop bars, brake levers,m lines and calipers, but I'm not 100% sure yet if I want to ride brakeless on my spicer. However, if I do I would be more than happy to sell you them for a cheap price. the bars are ritchey ergonomic with cable routing, pretty wide wrapped in deda light grey cork tape with a little electrical tape at the ends to cover bike fall over tears. The brakes are suntour GPX in a dark metallic blue grey with light grey hoods. One of the levers has a scratch on the front but they are both pretty new. The caplipers are nice and strong and the spring is internally housed so it won't rust up ever. theres pictures of them on my bike.

Do you have a stem that has a removable bolt on front plate? Because otehrwise you would have to remove the levers and tape before you put it on which would be a waste of tape kind of.

Yeah hey that'd be cool shiznaz. I got a quill stem for $6 at urbane cyclist, doesn't have a removeable bolt on front plate though :| I've never actually ridden bullhorns before, thought they looked pretty uber on most of the fixed gears i've seen in that pics thread. I forgot how much they were selling for at urbane, but I thought I could always buy bullhorns later.

The only thing that might be a problem is the reach of your brakes. Fitting a 700cc rim to a 27" created a need for long reach brakes. I just looked at my stem and I think it says 26.0mm clamp diameter (tag just says 120/26.

Let me know when you're going to sell em, can't wait to go riding..!

hmmm... I'm not 100% sure if its 25.4mm or 26mm clamp size handlebars. they are 44cm center to center, so they are pretty wide. The brakes have a fair amount of play in wheel size available due to an elongated hole for the pads. I realized that you'll need to take off one side of the tape anyways because I removed one of the brake lines when I took off my rear brake and just left the housing under it so the bars would feel even. You could just try them out some time to see if they work, if not then no biggie;

Around how much you want for the whole shebang shiz?

Check pm shiznaz

Shiznaz, want to meet on Friday sometime? 1pm ok? Thursday is also cool anytime from like 11pm onwards. Don't know what your schedule looks like.

Pm'ed my cell phone # in case you need to reach me.

These are ****ing excellent handlebars/brakes/levers shiznaz. Thanks x1000.

Everything fits alright?

Brake fit = perfect.

P.S Where'd you get that deda handlebar tape from?

Funniest thing I saw on campus today, some guy with aerobars on a hybird...
I also keep seeing this FUJI with shimano sora STI stuff on it. There was also this carbon forked Oryx floating around somewhere.

My bike just needs a rear derailleur which i'm getting on Monday. Then I can ride it OOH YEA.

That bike with the aero bar is always chained up outside of 1 spadina. I'm not sure who it belongs to.

Shiz you gone clipless yet? We should do a ride next weekend if it's not massively cold.

Rode it for the first time today... WOOT.

Anyone up for a ride tomorrow (thurs?), weekend?

Well i'll be downtown at yonge and bloor tomorrow at noon at any rate. Biking woo!
