How's it look? Any component suggestions?

The nitto mini horns are tiny, teak veeps are tacky. Other than that looks nice.

Hows the teak tacky? Are they not as beautiful in real life?

Those bullhorns I'm not so sure about, thats probably the one part I don't really know what to do with but I really like bars <40cm wide. Cause thats what I'm riding now and narrower feels more natural.

Fancy set up
Those little bullhorns are cool

looks nice to me, but I don't like those bars. Why not just check out some RB021 bars or something like that? I'm pretty sure you can get narrow bullhorns. I think you will find a regular bullhorn much more comfortable.

I actually think those teak wheels will look really nice especially w/ the brooks wrap and saddle.

Thompsons, Suginos, Nittos, Brooks and of Course Velocitys.
Dont forget to get some Knogs as well.

GAH :lol:

Pretty expensive set up
Can I suggest a carbon bottle cage?

I would pick a different crank.
Perhaps the Omniums?

Omniums I've been looking at but I wanted something with a 46t chainring and all the cheap online ones I've found are 48t. I mean I could switch out the chainring but I'd rather not tack on another expense. Is the difference between the two that great?

My bad I dig the style and don't have the cash for campagnolo parts. And thanks for the great criticism, it really helped. :thumb: Elitist bike ***...

What the **** is wrong with all you bikers giving other riders ****? We bike, lets be united in it.

We do it because we love you.

I wish I had real wood rims, I don't know how they'd hold up. But they'd be cool. Every thing but the mini horns, and it would be a reeeally nice bike.


Why do some choose those mini horns? Because they are 4foot 3 inchs tall?

I like the narrower stance because I have and always will be a wrestler, I'm used to having my arms on the inside.

I think the shape of the mini horns are nice, you still get some good hand positions.
I am not a fan of weird stick up bars.

The bars with the secound bend in the horn? Ya those can be reeeally ugly.

Yes, the ones that dip down are alright.
I am riding the Noah's are bar right now, I dig them.

What are your plans for chain? I don't know what i would do, maybe white to match the Mark V. Everything else seems pretty sweet. IMHO the mini bars aren't really going to fit the "vintage" look seem a little tarcky to me. My .02 :beer:

silver chain

The chain is either going to be white or a stainless. Thats for sure. Also a Chris King headset in silver will be going on there.

As far as the mini bars go I'm still not decided. My main issue is I haven't really felt how bars smaller than 40cm feel. So I could change but I need some first hand feel and no LBS stocks anything of the sort so I'll probably wing it when I make the purchase.

Where does one even find bars like that?

All the parts look awesome, the only thing I'm thinking is that's a whole lot of cash to drop on an IRO frame. Either way though that would be a hot rig.

What do you mean about the frame? Any suggestions for a similar price range?

I suggest a really nice bike lock for your expensive build.

Because of where I live in LA a bike lock isn't even going to matter, **** will still get jacked. With this bike I plan on only riding it when I can take it inside places with me. I've seen many seatposts, saddles, stems, and bars stolen off bikes so I don't even want to risk that.
