Risers and brakes?
 

I'm getting some risers tonight and wanted to see some examples of what risers look like with brakes. A lot of my friends are telling me to stick with my drops because brakes look terrible with risers but I wanna see for myself. Just post up some pics of your bike with risers and a brake. Thanks alot! Btw even if they do look pretty bad idc because I am not riding without a break haha I'm too p****.

I would only be concerned about how your bike looks. Brakes are not important. You and your bike will look cool when you hit the back of a car.

doesn't look too bad imo.

bars designed for hybrids and mountain bikes look dumb with brakes?

Interesting. I've heard bikes with saddles look stupid too...

Thanks jeffrey. That helped a lot cus that's my bike :)

If anything brakes look best with risers IMO.

is that the masi sprint? how do you like that frame? I'm a bit interested in one for my hypothetical build that will probably never happen.

I personally hate riding bikes with tires on them. Bare tubes or bust.

psh... tubes are for posers

wow you're friends....you need new ones:bang:
Anyhoo, risers look great with brakes, and having two is even cooler looking:p

brakes look bad, so don't use one. :lol:

That's a MASI Speciale Fixed, silly name but very nice bike although not worth the price tag MASI slapped on these things.

wow, the best threads happen past 2 in the morning!
