eBay and Craigslist finds

Nice 28 hole clinchers are a bit of a pain to locate.

because fixed gear is soooo 2009

look closely you'll see that was a suicide hub.

^ yeah, my guess as well

and actually not only suicide hub, but also it's a HF road hub converted to "track" - auction didn't have any pics from other side of the hub, where it would show.

10 points.
Having looked again it does actually say strada. However, I'd say it's far from "**Ideal Finish Touch to your CLASSIC City Bike- Courier/ Fix_Fixie_Fixed Project!"

The nob.

what? did it ever say "pista" or "strada" on the hub? i thought it was only cranks. my hubs only have "record" on them...

It's obviously a subtle* way of saying road.

*Hoodwinking.

can anybody guess why the rear hub didnt sell. thanks

I bought the front hub but realised the rear was 'fishy'. I think the shiny lockring was probably glued on. Next!

that was the idea, to keep everyone safe from trouble ;)

really? mounts are actually around 26.0mm clamp diameter, so i don't see how modern bulhorns can not be used?..

At work so can't see all the pictures on the auction page - suspect the problem is whether you'd be able to bend them through the double clamps (unless they open up completely)?

Hinged clamps, so no problem.
Otherwise you could have used Giant handlebars that you can split. Made to accomodate Grip Shift. Not a good idea though.
I can image a solution with Cinelli Spinacci parts. Also pretty weak. Best is to buy complete with bars, but also these were custom made. So, in fact it's a shit bike.

So, in fact it's a shit bike.

what?! jumping to conclusions, aren't we? :)
clamps open up completely, also i believe bars were bent in a shape, similar to classic bullhorns like cinelli la84 and/or 3ttt moser, so all's not lost.
but i guess you're right, need to buy with the bar
