a frame that got lots of my extra parts...it looks a little different now...but still has only one chainring and it has some cinelli pista bars on it now...those 3T pista bars have way too much reach.

this is badass

It would look better with less spacers and a flipped stem. I understand the comfort aspect though.

I want more fixie!

That one bike from the beginning of the Mad Max thread was about as fixie-ish as a multiple geared bike could be.

Some doctor at UF converted his old Madone into a flat-bar atrocity for his niece. He said he had gotten enough out of it already, having ridden it about 3,000 miles

. Best part was that he left his Ultegra levers and Race X Lite carbon bars at the shop because he had no use for them.

Possibly the biggest waste of a road frame I've ever seen.

This is one of my favorite bikes ever, I'd love to see more road bikes with such style:

I like the bike but I'm not into the bullhorns, it doesn't look awful but why not have some drops?

Nn, I just wouldn't use levers I couldn't get hoods for just because they are DA.

I'm guessing someone who didn't know any better was converting a bike.

it was an old friend of my brothers. he sent me a message on myspace saying he had some old dura ace bike parts laying around. took 'em off a tomasinni that he swapped the gruppo on back in his high school days.
he doesn't ride bikes anymore so i took that stuff off his hands to clear up some of his garage space

it's all dura ace 7400...
