Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

I've always wondered what those saddles would look like chopped. Bit gutted that doesn't work visually. I still wonder if a more classic seatpost would work?

IIRC Boardman rode on Spoks in the early 90's on a 753 Ribble lo-pro i think - he was pretty nerdy about aerodynamics etc, so they must have some redeeming aerodynamic benefit - they weren't invented exclusively so that BLB could flog them to the retarded.

I'm not really sure that proves anything other than people once thought that there was an aerodynamic benifit...

...and the fact that they're not around, while disc wheels are pretty much says it all.

IMO they're ugly, heavy and of no benifit. At least over-spoked deeeeep rimz tend to be stiff and strong. And they can look good.
