Just figured I'd post a pick of my bike still in progress but there you go

Why no front brake?

Why no front brake?

Presumably because

still in progress

Good question, I hate front brakes in fact I hate using rear brakes but I'm 48 and my knees don't hold up to riding fixed any more. So I have to compromise with a brake.

I hate front brakes

Have you considered cycle training?

Actually, the front-heaviness and low pivot point of a lo-pro make front brakes on them fun :-)

yup over the years time trailing from the late 80,s to mid 90,s I've had quite a lot of front end lo pro braking oh shit moments.

Who owns this atm? got a few questions for them!

^a good question would be "Can I haz it now? Pretty please!"

Might already haz similar brudda!!

Bought mine a few weeks ago from Jantrit on here. Love it. Went testing on it last week, found it very comfortable but the gearing feels just big or bigger (12-18 7sp screw-on). I'll get used to it I'm sure, I've upped my fixed gear to get some strength in the legs. Looking to improve on the 25'15" 10 next week.

Nice to see one being used as intended!

Aero bars?

Yeah, maybe soon, feel wobbly enough on it already. Want to finish a few TTs feeling like I didnt balls it up before I go in search of equipment gains :)

Got some love for the bike from the old boys. One of them pointed out the DT shifters to his grandson saying "thats how Grandad used to change gear" Blimey, its not that old-tech is it?

Aero bars aren't exactly Ti spokes or carbon chains :)

If you're nearly doing 25 for 10, then clip-ons are easily justified: a cheap way to get under 24...

I've got an adaptor to allow you to use DTS on "loop" aero bars, if required.

the gearing feels just big or bigger (12-18 7sp screw-on)

You've got two chainrings, stop being such a big girl's blouse. We used to ride 13-18 6-speed with just a 53 (or larger) ring, and the 17&18 sprockets were for warming up, not racing.

yeah quality story ^, bigger gears need dedication, get on top of them!

Haha, thanks Tester :) on that subject is it possible to get something like a 48t inner ring for that 600 chainset? It's such a big jump between rings that it's useless for the local terrain.

Scilly, there seems to be an overwhelming consensus in favour of aero bars, but as I said on the club's FB, I spend a lot of time gawping at that bike in the garage, often with my mouth loosely ajar, so it seems a shame to uglify it. I'm going to give it a go though because I'm starting to get hooked by this tt carry-on. I may get in touch about those shifter mounts. Cheers

From a TT POV then aero bars are an obvious choice: cheap, noticeable performance and a cinch to remove before the concours show.

top tube protector seems useless....matching tires and tape onto the bar...than it´ll be perfect for me

No it isn't, protect bar from hitting top tube.

top tube protector seems useless....

Maybe it's a wallhanger?

No it isn't, protect bar from hitting top tube.

it looks like the bars are too high to hit the top tube, so useless unless he lowers the stem
