Plug those bars FFS.

B125s are shallow track bars
they are comfy and work great for the street
B123s on the other hand not so great

drop bars are the only way to go

i can understand not liking drop bars if you have a bad bike setup

I've used both, and the only difference I'm aware of is the depth of the drop. Otherwise, they're shaped exactly alike, and they're both equally stupid for street riding.

It has nothing to do with liking or not like drop bars, it's about using the right bar for street riding, not a bar designed for short track events.

yes shallow
means less drop
close to a road bar

drop bars are stupid thats why all those road bikes you see have them

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. There is a pronounced difference between a road bar and a track bar, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the depth of the drop.

ok you win
i don't know anything
good job

build looks awesome man, how do those wheels feel?

wrap your goddamn bars.

i don't care if it's already been said a dozen times.

do it.

now.

dont listen to them do what you want its your bike.

i love bonechilling

how much total? just wondering...

thanks for all the feedback. I love the bike, the wheels roll great! I like the shiny chrome bars showing, so i didn't wrap them hehe, i think i'm gonna keep it like that for a while. This bike is way too fun

The total on the bike came out to around $1200.

i hate this

and yeah keep your bars unwrapped if you have to but at least plug them

will i see you riding around the city? or does boston mean somewhere else in massachusetts?

that is a beautiful bike.

All just depends on what type of riding you're doing. My nice bike = I'm sprinting on it, even if I'm riding to a friend's house a mile away I'm trying to spin out my legs. And I'm never riding more than 20 miles on it unless I happen to be racing and the alleycat is over 20. Therefore comfort isn't that much of a deal as say a 40-60 mile road ride in which case the bullhorn'd bike would be coming out. Well, the nice bike sees the track too, so there ya go. It's fun to ride in the street if for sprinting over short distances. Also doesn't hurt that I'm a bit of an idealist and the thought of riding a pure track bike on the street looks good in my head. Deep drops are also about the best thing in the world when piercing through a nice headwind in traffic, like a steak knife stabbing through a fresh veal cutlet...

My favorite bar ever would be B123's with dummy brake hoods for that bullhorn-like position. I'd ride that all day long.

I mentioned I'm the type of guy that rides in the drops about as much as I do on the flats and shoulders, yes? Good.

yea you'll see me in the city, i goto BU, so i'm all around the city all the time

it sort of looks like the fork is on backwards

fish eye broooooo
