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)

Got on a plane to San Diego and took the Coaster up to north county. Got an excellent meal at Encinitas Alehouse, crashing in Leucadia. Riding the Marin Ignacio this week, fitted with 2-speed S-A kickback hub for those big climbs. Weather's gonna be perfect.

Yeah, bullhorns cut from drop bars have a lot of subjective to preference room, as far as angle goes. They aren't flat like premade bullhorns. These are 3T's which make great bullhorns IMO..

Looks like the only hand position is in the bottom out front. Maybe take more off the ends so you can level the bars out? Can't be comfortable having your hands at that degree with your wrist bending so much

I've been riding them that way for years. They are quite narrow, so when I ride in the "drops" my hands are actually on the outside of the bars. It's very comfortable, to me.


Also, there are obviously more than one "hand position". At least two others, ya know?

Good man! Beacons is a great beach.

I grew up in N County SD.

Yes, here ya go. Notice the ends of the bars are almost even with the stem. If I'm riding in that position, my thumbs would be on the wine corks. I only ride in that position to stretch out, or at times when anyone else would be riding in the drops, on non bullhorns. I usually ride on the flat parts or just before they curve down, on the outside.
