Road fixed / fixed road

You can put the end of a brake cable in, and clamp it between the bar and the brake lever clamp.

Looking to set my fixed up like this - I've only ever used risers, so have no idea about drops / brake levers.
What would be a good set of levers and drops to start with? Using a quill so would have to have a 25.4 or 26mm diameter

Cheers!

This thread will tell you about deda piega and soma hwy1 bars again and again. Have a read though, there are some tips about getting compact style drops (tight bends) in quill stems.

Then for levers:
sram s500
shimano tiagra r400
cane creek scr-5
trp rrl
tektro have some too, but some are v brake specific and I don't know which

What would be a good set of levers and drops to start with?

Drop curve is a very personal thing, but if you don't already know what you like it doesn't matter what you choose. I'd get Cinelli #64 for a classic look and easy fitment, modern bars with tight corners can be a struggle with traditional quill stems.
SRAM S500 levers are nice but a bit pricey, Tektro RL340 are cheap and adequate.

@alialias @mdcc_tester
cheers for the recommendations, will have a look in to them!

Nitto M151 are very nice and good value too.

Single-speed so straight into the bin @Ecobeard really ruined the entire thing IMO

Oh FFS, I got blinded by the lovely frame, themed-paintwork and carefully considered spec.

@Ecobeard sort it out.

I can only apologise for having the temerity to reflect the forums title in the bikes drivetrain and haveing not put my own bike in this thread

I will flagellate myself appropriately and put the awful awful machine in the bin

*this being SS means that my flyer will now be going back to fixed, as of course, it should be

I mean in all honestly it is a very lovely bike.

I posted it, it's all my fault really...

I fear that counts for nothing in this bearpit of a thread though.

I suppose we could always start a Road singlespeed thread....

@gaston better?

It fit a better here. A lot better, but I still think it's a bit naff

I'm not a huge fan if I'm honest, but it fits the description.

Put SRAM S900 levers on, some pics of the JTek double control splitter solution to control the front brake.

Had no space to mount directly on the calliper due to the short headtube, so added some extra cable outer to loop into the calliper.

Magic gear? Great though.

Looks like a super short track dropout although I could be wrong.
