Fuck, it feels good with drops...

Daiyum... Rode it tonight. So good, think I'll be keeping it. (:

Why have a layback seatpost when you put the clamp the saddle rails at the front? I guess you may not have sat on it yet to get the setup right, but you could have made it look better for photos you are posting on the internet.

Also, the risers look better with that stem, the drops are ugly as fuck.

How long did you wait for the frame?

Layback seat post puts the saddle back, clamping at the front of the rails puts it back even more. I have "sat" on it, but not ridden it. Still going to see what to do with the spacer situation, I had the shop put in 2 spacers, and I'll see if I run them below, or above the stem, or at all.

I just wanted to get a few quick pictures up, and wasn't meticulous enough about those items.

The stem is 100mm 0 Degree, but I have a 130mm -10 Degree on its way. Hopefully the drops look (and feel) better with that stem.

There were some issues with the frame, so my wait doesn't reflect the normal wait.

Got a pic of it set up for outdoors?
It has potential!

These are temporary wheels, I am building up ones specific for this bike in the near future (Archetype to Phil Wood LF), and am only using it on rollers at the moment.

I am heading to a velodrome in a few weeks, so I will have to put outdoor tires on and will hopefully get some better pictures.

130 stem, layback and saddle pushed back... perhaps a bigger frame required?

It's not that the frame is small, it's that with the length of my femur and the 175mm cranks, I wanted to be a bit farther behind the BB. I have yet to ride it, so I will see how it feels.

It's a 62cm, perhaps longer cranks (these are 175mm) would have been a better option, but then the BB is too low for that.

that sounds big.
62ctt, i.e. how much ctc?

62 ctc

Good luck getting cranks longer than 175mm
A bike fit would solve all your troubles

SRAM Omniums come in 180mm, but I was worried about pedal strike and I want to spin.

cough

?

I guess thanks go to Dom & jb for persuading me to keep it, and indra for suggesting drops....

Beaming smile
Now to persuade him to sell it...

You got an uptodate of yours for comparison?

Pending update on mine... need to get some shallow drop bars. about to start back on the track twice a week and decided the RHP will be my every day street ride :)

some other RHP's tho:
my mates (now sold) maca

and another he got guzzumped on the bay by seller

think i prefer the yellow. this is mine as it was last time posted:

Have since de-stickered ellipse... and then i did one session like this:

Dont really like it as above.. oh new post and saddle in there too.

Nice bikes Mark, agreed the yellow is nicer. Good to hear TM is keeping his.

The Low is rad, nothing wrong with those bars if you ask me, spyder will always be anti though! And the red tyres.

I got rid of the Spyder, mostly because it flexed too much under my weight. I put the Fizik Arione on.

The red tyres are indoor trainer tires, and I didn't feel like going through the trouble of putting outdoor tires on, taking a picture, then putting the trainer tires back on.

that doorway looks familiar...

did you ever post pics of a norco diabolique TT?

was doing some research on the frame and google lead me to pedal room i think

niice bike btw

me? no dude.. and thx!

Yup!
Hugely neg stem + giant spacer stack, just why?

Granted it doesn't look right with those bars but I think it looks rad on something like this

I reckon it's up there with running a Jag stem n risers or an angled up stem and pursuit bars. Doesn't make sense, it's not practical but it looks slave as fuck imo.

Who is entitled to be the judge of all HHSB, is there a Commitee?

Last but not least, where do i apply

Does it have to make Sense?

The first law of slavery is that it has to be rad

Form over Function?

If you're asking too many questions about how to judge slavery then you cannot judge.

Mind over (what) Matters

Im learning

Does it have to make Sense?

Au contraire, if a bike makes total sense it's not a hhsb in my eyes.

A true hhsb is RADICULOUS.

Im Down..
