You rock for doing this as I really did not want to go back out and take another picture. That sums it up quite well though.
I did. Hated the ones that came on it. Might put some on again one day when I have a track near me.

Well, I indeed stand corrected. Thanks for the photographic work, jayrooney. I actually did a little experiment with pencil, paper and a piece of wire and confirmed that the handle bars do hit the TT before seeing it. It's all about the headtube angle! Your geometry teachers would be happier with how you and #18 turned out than how I did

The areas im riding in are bike trails built where railroad tracks used to be, off of the road. Main thing I ever have to stop for are the 3 or so intersections on the trail, and the occasional twigs in the way.

probably a little bit overkill for just bike path cruisin and stuff..but well...
i would have mentioned the brake (break) issue..but you already covered that and it seems like we are in agreement...
i just don't see how that would be comfortable for long rides...but well we are all different and have different standards of comfort...
enjoy!

I was planning really hard to get a pink bike, but I've owned this for a while....
and when this came up on ebay, I just couldn't pass it up
edit: yeah, I know, i reeally really need a brooks on my bike, but I am literally broke after buying a new track frame.
Matching set ftw!

well yeah, I figured that much out, but do you have pictures of one? I have never seen a velo or vette saddle.

If you're talking about my bike when I switch over to drops I will consider this. (these bars are transplanted from my other frame)
