Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

My view from the cockpit. I like these risers because they have no sweep.

what are the dimensions of the Oury grips?

I want to cut my bars down so I can test ride, but my grips will not be hear for a few days..

In other words how much bar do they cover?

cheers.

Theyre 5" long. So they cover slightly less than that.

Swobo Sanchez bars on my Mercier; they're a little wide, but I kinda prefer them wider. I may chop a slight bit off, but if I do it won't be much.
