Lo Pros, Represent

than i'm sorry, looked like 700 in the front

yeah i'll admit the first pic was a shit angle, I noticed the wheel looking like a 700c right after I put it up.

i'll take some better shots this weekend or so..

A lo-pro is defined by function, not form: "A lo-pro... ...replicate[s] the hand position of riding on the drops of a normal road/track bike".

As it stands your bike doesn't put your hands in that position, so it isn't a lo-pro *despite *the sloping top tube and 650c front wheel.

A bike can be both a lo-pro and not at the same time, depending on the rider.

That's the bike I raced last year: horizontal top tube and 700c front wheel, but it was a lo-pro for me, because (using a smaller frame than I would normally ride) the base bars were in the same position as the drops on my road bike: check the head tubes on the frames in the background.

However, for someone who would normally ride that size frame, it wouldn't be a lo-pro.

cool, plenty of others were posted on here with risers, thought i'd do the same - thanks for the in depth explanation hahaha

The Lo-pro police are out in force today.

Zero tolerance: "assume the position"!

haha, right? the heat is burnin'

A normal road bike might be set up for someone to ride as if it was a lo pro..

so.. maybe Scilly Suffolk is just 'assuming the position' of a lopro?

I would define a lo pro as a frame / forks DESIGNED to be used in the low profile position. That you may or may not have it set up for low profile riding does not alter what the bike (whcih is primarily frame forks, maybe wheels) is. But it does potentially leave you open to accusations that you are not maximising the potential of the frame, or setting it up in a sympathtic way.

When I first rode a lo pro with bullhorns it felt right (because it is!) But there is a lot to be said for how a low pro with narrow risers feels / handles.

That's what I thought as well, low pro frame/fork, front wheel, etc..

Handles great with risers, fun for city riding, and like I said I have some other bars for it but I want to get used to the bike for a bit first with these bars, as it just got built last week.

Congratulations, Jeez, on describing a lo pro frame and forks with your normal tact, elegance and consideration of the feelings of others.

Everybody!
Enough bullshit!
Just photograph your Lo-Pro next to your road/track bike and we'll all be able to see whether you really own a Lo-Pro

#doingitright?

With a conversion?

Whaaaaaa?

Any videos of that in use?

Or even pictures.

How does one even .. ?

Wait...

The cranks are attached the hub?
No.
Hang on.
There's a chain.
No.
Two chains.

Google "semi-prone" and skip over the proctology results.

It's just a half-way house between an conventional safety and this pre-war model

I'm certainly getting plenty of ideas off here

My local friend here sell these thing, idk about the size but it's 650c front + 700c rear.

I think maybe there's one of you guys interested in it, so I post it here...

Is that in Germany? I think that's my old frame and I sold it to a guy overseas.

Could be very tempted in taking it back.Does he have a price in mind?

Nope, it's in Jakarta, Indonesia.

PM'ed.
