Never underestimate my Dick Power!!!

The stem is a Cinelli pista, which apart from the Deda pista is the only track a-head stem on the market (I think?)

Or just use any stem with a high degree of rise/drop. i.e.

But of course that is not 'traditional track' :-)

And that frame needs a quill anyway, as steel forks with ahead stems never look right. Amen.

In your opinion! I hate it when people spout this kind of shit. Get over yourself!

Change the wheels and tyres and it would be somewhat acceptable.

Obviously in my opinion as I am the one who said it. And it is not shit, as aesthetics are purely subjective (no one is right or wrong)

It is just a bad mix to have classic looking small diameter steel tubes with an ugly big stem plonked on the top. Sort of misses the point of bothering with steel to get a certain look. (in my opinion!)

Well ur opinion sucks balls. IMO

"Schwanz Kraft Spezial" not so bad!

What are you, 9 years old?

This thread has 219 pages of peoples opinions on bike aesthetics. I have hardly said anything outrageous here. I doubt I am on my own in thinking a quill stem looks better than an ahead stem on a steel tubed bike, in fact I would guess I am in the majority.

FWIW, I use aheads all the time as they are lighter and don't flex but this thread is about form not function. Form becomes less important after 50 miles and function takes over...

Take it to the streets

ever hang out in dockside bars?

Take it to the streets

Oh yeah, let's fight about what stem looks best on a bike. Maybe a little perspective needed here :-)

Nicer with road shields.

Them royce hubs are lush. They look very similar to the Fixie Inc ones though.

@kowalski, is it important to have the shields?
phils use the same/similar bearings but theirs are open

No.2 is a repost.
No.4 not sure where you're going with that one.
