Hey guys this is my first post here, I just bought my first "real" bike yesterday. I got an Opus Belcanto single speed off craigslist. The previous owner changed the handle bar, crank set, wheels and seat post. its got an aluminum frame with a carbon fiber fork and carbon fiber felt seat post. I am very much a noob with bikes but Im researching and trying to learn more. Im not a fan of the handle bar so I will be changing that right away. Overall I like the bike so far.

^ those bars are on backwards, probably why you don't like them. They are drop bars, not bullhorns.

Try flipping them around giving the drops a shot before you get a different bar.

Ain't you ever heard of drop bullhorns. They're all the rage with the kids today.

The black rim also adds a nice contrast. Either way, both bike are purdy.

Practically a barnyard find. The previous owner was an 80 y/o who only rode it on the track and a trainer a handful of times.
