shants what bars are those?
|
f*** the bars, but pink saddle?
|
the saddle is a selle italia turbo gel (hah!) and the bars are nitto rb021 pursuit bullhorns.
|
We're all reeling from the day-glo horror that you've accessorized the bike with, but what's the frameset?
|
Shants: I'm not sure if it's a reincarnation of your earlier clown bike, or you have both or whatever, but it definitely needs the other 2 tt pads, coloured tyres and all that.
Loving the TT pad and the lettering. |
|
it's a 1974 gitane super pista. i love the **** out of some french bikes.

here;s to hoping it's as ridiculous[ly awesome] as this one. fsnl sparky |
Hah, that bike is crazy. Looks like between the stem drop, and the extension/drop of the bullhorns, that you had to pull your saddle way forward. Doesn't look like it'd be rideable out on the bullhorns!
|
the seatpost clamps the saddle about mid-way on the rails. pedals seems most natural in that position. also, i actually do 75% of my riding out on the horns with this bike. it feels comfortable to me. although, i haven't done any really long rides with it yet.
|
Pic of you riding on the horns, please! With the winter cap on, preferably.

how often do you have to change the batteries in those vibrator grips?
the bike doesn't look too stretched out. i live on the ends of my bullhorns. low tuck rules. |
My pink wheel set found a new home in Japan. I want to change out seat and bars at some point, but I'm too busy building up my new 3Rensho road frame. Plus, I seem to crash more than I should so there's no point in making it too fancy.
