nice wheels!

It looks nice but that saddle just takes away from everything. Its just terrible on there.

naw you just dont have good taste.

Do you put beef jerky on your birthday cake? Cause thats what that is.

naw that is a well broken in seat that feels good on my ass, my birthday cake looks ****ing sweet

+1 you gota sacrifice looks when you want to roll on comfort. Brooks all the way!!!

just waiting for one of those white ones, right?

Behind Kanye in line.

seems like Brooks see the potential in the fixed gear arena for major profit. they gonna be the next deep vs for saddles.

That already happened like 4 years ago.

just to put it out there, I just tried these bars (Mossberg) out that came with the oldies I found:

I thought they were track bars and really said to myself why can't all track bars be this comfy but then I was told they aren't tracks but are more like Nitto Rando bars. While a little disappointed, its good to say I'm hooked on them. They feel fantastic.

ps. they will be wrapped

Youre disappointed cause theyre not really track bars?
Does it matter what the company intended them for?

I know. I couldn't get the chain length right so this is a temporary setup until my half link comes in.

In my opinion Brooks saddles almost always look terrible. Once and awhile on certain bikes they will look okay. A Brooks paired with that Mercier definitely looks terrible. I have been resisting posting my hatred of Brooks saddles for a few years, but I just couldn't do it any longer. It feels good to be out of the closet! I said it: I think Brooks saddles are ugly.

well yea since I won't be able to use them on the velodrome

Uh, ok

why not?
you're not racing Japanese keirin. you can use whatever drop bars you want.

Thats what im saying. They dont always look bad. 90% of the time they ruin the bikes looks.
The Mercier above is ruined by it totally. The saddle is way out of place on that bike.

This guy is local to me and his fits with the bike and its other components, IMO.

really? I thought you had to have only those kinds to race?

Alert BSNYC! I think you're on to something with this half-wrapped business.

nope. plenty of people use road bars in mass start races.
it's pretty much sprinters who use track bars

you can use any drop bar for mass start races.
and bullhorns in the pursuit.

My IRO Jamie Roy...nothing too fancy. Just finished up building it tonight.

B piddy: Very nice. Saddle angle is painful though.
