That is exactly what I have in mind for my winter bike but with drops. Is that a threadless stem on a threaded fork? How does that work??

I seem to recall the signs saying it isn't cleared.

There's a weird smooth snow-ice coating on the trails that's very amusing to ride on where it wasn't walked on before it froze.

well thank you. i think the all black scheme helps that. we'll see how elegant it is after a winter of salt. i don't mind running it through hell; the frame is bent and the BB threads are seized so it's in there permanently.

has anyone else seen the new bianchi street fixies w/ aluminum frames? i saw them at urbane the other day and they look sort of like the track pros, but with bosses for a rear brake and a carbon fork. kind of an odd hybrid?
