  • When I picked it up last week it had mid-2000 spec fixie-skidder Nitto risers that were way too narrow.

    Gorgeous bike, but it's interesting how the pendulum has now swung too far in the other direction regarding bars. Those risers look completely ridiculous on that bike.

  • Thanks. I know that those bars are absolutely not in keeping with the rest of the bike. They are somewhat of a placeholder. The uncut nittos were still so narrow that it was twitchy and hard to crank from the lights. I'll be finding something more fitting but I will say it's incredibly comfortable with them that wide. I kind of feel like, as this bike will never go near a velodrome (or be used how it was intended) I may as well build it in a way that means it's nice to ride.
