those things arnt too bad looking.

@ MASHeug , what brand bullhorns are these

Cloudy and chilly day, but a good day to ride nonetheless

wow, beautiful bike

Triple Triangle Frame = sweetness!!!

Really nice but I think track drop bars and a positive rise stem are at odds.

that's a pretty dumb thing to say.

^Ceci est une bécane soignée.

get those risers off! and the stem too! that needs cinelli stuff. I'm actually a little heated that you but risers on that

that moser badly needs a zeus pista group. spot on with the saddle, though.

Thanks everyone who commented on my Swobo Sanchez build. I like getting all the different points of view, how different folks set up their rides. JABBA, I actually was testing the waters with the retro/modern mix, I really like the feel of the Major Taylor bars, and I was just curious about setting up a more recent, sloping top tube design with a "retro" handlebar arrangement. I welcome your input as to what you think would click as far as saddle, HB and stem selection. I'm always mixing and trying different themes with my bikes (I have 3 fixed rides) so meh, maybe it'll be something different next month!

I didn't want a cookie-cutter type bike, and this one definitely gets reactions...

I like the visual impression I get when riding it: the "cockpit" view of the mostly bare handlebars, the unusual shape, and minimal bar tape wrap. Just a hint of the red trim color.

Ersatz, I like riding with bare handlebars, and having padding on the drops only. I am comfortable riding without padding nearer the stem, or when modulating the brake. Leather gloves work great on bare handlebars. I also clamp lighting systems, GPS and a bell on the handlebars, depending on when, where I'm going...so it's nice having room for all that crap

seriously.

and look at THIS poser!

Isn't that Marty Nolstein?
200 meter rush

About as tarck as you can get, but I love it.

stay classy.

Here are some shots of my De Bernardi that I recently converted to a SS/fixe. It's got an Ultegra crank with 42T chainring, Brooks B17 saddle, CLB seatpost, Nitto stem, Mavic CXP-22 wheels with Formula hubs.

Update pic of the pista.

They are the ones that came with it. I dig the shape, and size of them, but they are flexy as hell. as was the super soft stem.

Well, since you ask, I'd probably go with either a black or white saddle and tape, and I'd tape the bars a little further up. Something like this:



And maybe you could polish up the stem? The matte/chrome look is just a bit off to me.

Definitely needs Cinelli.

oh yeah def the bare handlebars help with that sometimes the bar tape doesn't allow that.

Yeah, this guy's bike sucks.



And check out this dork!



If only they read the opinions of some internet dweebs - then their bikes would finally be acceptable.

[QUOTE=gkelley;8446547]pretty sure i saw you riding tonight on 11th.

Oh dear, the super track bike sarcasm is gettin' to me.
