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)

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

Does it matter what the company intended them for?

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.

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.

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.
