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)

Beginning phase to my build. Going to polish the Campy Triomphe pedals before installing the BB and cranks. I'll actually get a real camera to take photos when the build is done.

My original fixed gear bike. Headlight for those night rides, and flip down fork pegs for going down the big hills and your feet can't keep up with the pedals.

The Cinelli Ram bars were specifically made to be comfortable on the tops, tops of the hooks, and in the hooks. You can look up the "VRC" concept Cinelli has around on the net regarding the design.

I haven't actually tested them out, so I couldn't verify if they're actually comfortable or not.

Any chance you could post a closer detail photo of those pursuit bars? They look interesting.

Those are 30's. I'll see how I like them. I have a set of 25's and a drop bar that I could switch out pretty quickly.

I don't know, they're just generic bullhorns. I put some old road drops on there though
