  • If Jubilee clip meaning pipe clamp then yes. It began as a bit of an experiment that originated from the idea of adding a front brake to the Cinelli. The kit included some cut tubes to use as a sleeve over the bars to help with securing them. I've added 3m double sided scotch tape and a small sliver of bar tape underneath to help give more space for the clamp to compress. It has also created a slight vibration dampening compared to only running the rubber tubes. The up sloping top tube on the vigorelli runs 3cm longer then the seat tube and allows more seat post exposure compared to the njs frame.

    You could probably pop out the small dummy lever, but something like this might look nicer (though brake levers (trp ones) would be even better). #oldmanshoutsatsky

  • There was someone on here™️ who 3D printed hand nubs for track bars, but I can't for the life of me find the thread...

  • That's the one, thanks 🙏

  • I have been taking a break from registrering BDHU but this is just too much.

  • that is shameful.

  • Aliexpress road bike aesthetics at bespoke gravel prices. What's not to like?

  • Saddle pointing up as well

  • bruh.

    'Brakes Rad Under Hands'?

  • Good comment in combo with your Avatar

  • "Aye aye aye" would also suffice. Poor two-wheeled preying mantis

  • Too offensive to not call out.
    Imagine the comfort and improvement in reach that would happen if a bit of bdhu was applied.

  • Phone needs charging

  • If you look again you will see that in fact it IS charging. Currently at 25% fyi

  • is that sadoff built? Not a fan of the big headtube and skinny fork either

  • No no I agree it is aesthetically challenging. But we are not here to criticise. We are here let people know they can get more out of their "cockpit" by installing bars (dare I say?) correctly. In this case it's just the old school bars that don't jelly with the 10sp Sram levers I imagine.
    We obvs don't know the full story but I can say that I have been monitoring the owner and they are a bit of a serial offender of anti-bdhu

  • Just to stay humble I thought I should post this. This setup was for my wife and there's no way that was comfy in the drops. It will change with the rebuild coming soon...

    This is more of a bdhd situation tho

  • no way that was comfy in the drops

    Why? Because the levers are too far away? Looks pretty comfy to me

  • The levers do look like a bit of a reach but in terms of the flat drops, wrists are not horizontal, looks spot on to me

  • Can I poke the collective for a bit of advice?

    Historically I've used maes type bars for the last couple of decades and been very happy with them, I tried compact bars out a while back and didn't get on with them, but I don't think I gave them a fair shot.
    Recently I've started experimenting with compact bars on some of my bikes again for 'reasons', but I'm struggling a tiny bit with positioning, the issue is I have big palms but short sausage fingers and I'm finding the reach to brake levers a little greater with compacts that I'm used to, and it's exacerbated if I raise the hoods too much. I'm also quite fond of a flat transition from ramps to hoods, but I'm feeling like I want the hooks to be rotated a bit more down/back. Any of this making sense?

    A pic as an example on one bike I'm struggling with a little, I feel like I want the bar to be rotated down on this bike to put the drops in a more comfy place, but then I need to move the hoods up and the reach to brake levers increases more than I'm happy with, and I start to lose my flat ramps.

    Do you think I just need to fiddle a bit more and give it some more miles/time to adapt or am I on a hiding to nothing and should head back to my go-to maes/parallel bars?
