For cruising around town in Vans? Nope.

Don't know tbh, they came off an old (70's - 80's) town bike.

Oh sorry ... thought we were offering arbitrary comment on personal preference

Needs 28c

What straps are those? I didn't find any velours straps and ended up ordering from njs-export

No worries, it's just a bike. Parts come and go depending on the mood.

Toshi double straps

Looking for some 25.4/26.0 silver flat bars for my commuter ~60cm. Other than nitro what else is there for options. Seems daft to drop 30 on some bars for my commuter.

SJSC have a selection, as low as £8 if you want steel

or £13 for their house brand aluminium

Todays project. Been collecting bits from dumpsters and fleamarkets for a while. Paint has a nice sparkle to it.

a while

Quite an understatement

It's all relative. It's only been two(?) years...

Too much sweep back. Want flat with less than 10 degrees sweep back

My Kona got some new(old)tyres and front suspension back on. Had a really nice ride this afternoon. 1st Mtb Ride since last summer, was good!

Build rear wheel this night.

Isn't that frame way too small for you?

Joining the non drop bars on track bike gang as seen a lot on last pages... Turned up that I'm using the Bob Jackson more often than I thought so had to make it road legal. Having failed to find a cheap clamp on brake I installed the spare road forks that came with the frame, the rest is part bin... These bar's clamp area is too short so there's a bit of flex but that's ok for now.
Also put a concor instead of the Brooks, more appropriate I thought...

ftfy

I ride at 2mph max without a brake, so really had to... And wanted to too, yes.

[Edit] ...so now I can go my optimum speed of 4mph!

I have enough bike my size to make of all sizes. : )

Looks good

Finished up my Serotta t-max, looking forward to many joy rides on it!
