My brother recently joined me for a 20 mile ride. Some good pictures of the upright, comfortable body position these bars enable, both of us are over 60 years old.

Your elbows look locked out. Not a great fit but with Floppy choppy bars I guess that is the way to go?

he’s happy af. both of em are. when’s the last time someone took a pic of you on your bike and you had a smile like that?
leave em alone. just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong.

I am not trying to stop them from riding or anything like that just pointing out locked out elbows and having at a little fun at the slap chop bar. Usually when people photograph me on the bike I am smiling.

I see the old guys riding bikes with funky bars and big smiles. I can see the attitudes of the snarky types mocking them and can readily guess what their lives are like. Which ones do YOU want to be like?

Your cog is slipping.
You can throw your 2 cents in whichever old-timey gumball machine you'd like, but every aspect of my life is ****ing awesome.

not only do you not know how to install a proper pair of handlebars, but you also cant properly tighten the straps of your helmet.

Not gonna openly mock anyone here, but it's hard to resist when someone keeps posting pics of a bike that practically begs for it.

Jeffrey Dahmer smiled and he ate children! Y'all can be like that if you want. I prefer to have an awesome life with proper handlebars that aren't floppy choppy and a bike not made from melted down cast iron boat anchors!
This is a proper PX-10 and one I would happily own and ride granted it was upgraded with Campanoglos:

I don't see a young Eddy riding with Vince from Slap Chop handlebars but one with Campie on it, yes very much yes!

Having fun, about 100 miles on these in the past 3 days. Maybe we could have done twice that on good bikes with approved handlebars?
