People! It's called the Mavic 370 and it is both beautiful and svelte. You're welcome!




The Big Bulbous 31.8mm quill stem looks out of balance because it is visually out of balance by virtue of what it is designed to do/be. I think it's ugly. Maybe fixie riders felt the flex because when you're riding fixie, if the bike/drivetrain doesn't have any give (and there are no brakes), the rider then becomes the flex point, and the load/force vectors go through the rider and to what they are attached to (pedals, saddle, handlebars). Quill stem conversion or Innicycle headset for me if I'm going the 31.8mm route. But you all already know that!

Anyway... To get this thing back on track, here's a throwback that I may or may not have posted. 1983 Trek 970 - 64cm - Columbus SL - Campagnolo Chorus 8-speed. The parts and frame are long gone, but the frame is at least in a really good home.
