Could never get behind completely parallel bars.

Also your local bike dump will have appropriate levers for virtually free, still cool though.

Backyard carbon job.

The handlebars were just a bit of tubing with some carbon ends glued on.

Sorry for the shitty photos.

that does not look safe

living on the edge

That lock is a bit overkill. I doubt anyone would be willing to risk their life stealing that thing.

Dodgy homemade carbon + double spinergy=yolo

fuck me! people have no idea. YOLO indeed

Doesn't look all that professional.

If someone builds a complete bike out of the material, I'd hazard a guess they know one or two things about it. We're used to the spit n polish version of CF with all the weaving and shine, this isn't it....
Same principle applies to fibreglass, it's goddamned ugly and horrible to work with, but do it right, and the final results are exceptional.

You'd be surprised

soon to be in epic fail if someone rides it

I have no idea what I'm talking about but it seems weird that someone would have the expertise to build a whole bike but not to finish if nicely so it doesn't look like an expensive version of papier mâché.

Homemade carbon fiber chopper.
