Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

put them like erichsia's bike's. that flat part that reaches forward is the neutral grip or whatever, that's where the majority of your riding will be. it'll be much more comfortable level.

Cant follow that beautiful machine but here is mine. 1983 Woodrup. Original owner was a professional sign writer. Hence rather "unusual" lug lining etc. Even the "WOODRUP" is hand done.

if it were me I'd light the wd40, use it as a flamethrower and melt the aerospoke. Then I'd lift some of those weights I see there.
