Mash / Cinelli Vigorelli

looks shit.
might I suggest:

more suited to you dov.

Indeed.

Those MASH horns are nice, I would get one but don't have a poptop stem on any of my bikes.

for some reason people (hipsters) in the US seem to point their bullhorns down
eg

and most people who would buy Mash stuff wouldn't even hold the bars properly, making the aero top sections pointless.

I (like most people) have a bit of drop on the top of road bars, just before the hoods. The modern trend is away form this. If you look at road bikes form the 90s there is often 30mm+ of drop to the hoods.

When I'm using bullhorns, I set them up just like my hoods. They drop 20mm ish.

I wonder if people moaning about this (thinking it's just a fashion thing) have ever got out of London and ridden up some hills?

But modern hoods are flat with the top of the bars because it's much more comfortable. And yes.

Not just in the US. http://tinyurl.com/3h8vd8u

Yes. Like I said... the modern trend is away from this with the pros.

They also spin at 90 rpm up the hills.

This didn't used to be the case. I know I don't spin at 90rpm uphill when fixed. I get out the saddle, and like to have dipped bullhorns to hold onto.

Ha. Wales too.

I understand where you're coming from miro, but because they do it in the ol' days doesn't necessary mean it's comfortable, after all, cycling only just begun a century ago and we've seen many advanced in not only technology but also ergonomic and bike fitting.

I did experiment with bullhorn sloped slightly downward, it's a little easier riding up big hill, but that's about it, everything else I find it hard to just relaxed and let my hand rest on the hood without feeling like I'm sliding forward.

Why did I put it in that position at the time? because I though it look cool.

Yeah. There are lot pengy setups on the webz.

The thing is the only 'right' position is the one that the rider finds most comfortable.

It's worth mentioning I do most of my riding outside of London and in the hills.

With bullhorns in hills I'm either;
spinning downhill with hands on the tops of the bars
grinding uphill in the saddle, with hands on the tops
or uphill out of the saddle with hands on the ends

The majority of people riding fixed around (hilly) Bristol use bullhorns or drops/hoods. Lots of them tilt them slightly downwards.

In london most people seem to stick with risers. This makes perfect sense as it's pretty flat.

i quite like it, not worth a grand though...

I agree not worth a grand, but VERY nice

I've lusted after that ever since I first saw the Mash TOC teaser vids. If I was dwarven and could ride a 50cm frame, I'd have it in a heartbeat.

Ditto.

I hated myself somewhat for putting them on. But find them a million times more useful than the hoodless drops I had.

Mine currently setup ~~ to eat triathletes ~~ as a training bike...

53:14 with an s3x hub giving a top gi of 105 and a bottom of 65 for the incline when my hipster juice runs out.

I can't understand the horns hate. I find them infinitely better than a straight bar or a riser if I want to ride for longer periods.

I suppose with brake hood, you have something to hold due to the hood shape, whether the horn on a bullhorn bar is circular, which may not be as comfortable as a brake hood lever.

I like having brake hood lever as it mean I can grip it better than the bullhorn bar.

They're pretty ugly compared to the old drop bars, which they replaced.
