Bike porn

(in a mdcc_tester's tone) it's a 3ttt Moser, also known as 51.151. A bar, originally designed by 3ttt for Francesco Moser's 1984 hour record, when he went as far as 51 km 151 m, and later put into production with same name in order to comemorate the event - 51.151. Some say, it's got the best shape out of all original classic pursuit bars. Even more - these are the original bullhorn bars. More here .

(in a normal voice) it goes for at least $100 on ebay, if you're lucky to spot one. i held one in my hands (unf, didn't have a chance to install/ride on a bike), and it really is v. nice and light

Now I want them even more. They look perfectly cut on that multicoloured lo-pro.

For my money, nothing before or since has come close to the Cinelli LA84
Yeah, I've got a pair of LA84's, they feel really nice, haven't ridden with them yet (need a Cinelli stem), but I really like the shape.

this "meant to be" usually comes out of function. in case of road bikes, QR hardly gets in a way of anything on either side of the wheel

I've always thought what Sheldon said was probably right ;]

"General practice is to install the skewer so the handle is on the bicycle's left side. Thus, the right side is secured by the acorn nut that threads onto the opposite end of the skewer."

Nice frame. That's it

ah, the labels and valves are all lined up. that's good.

is it the bar in the (now in)famous avatar pic of yours? :))

Yes, that one.

I'm pretty sure the front QR lever is always meant to go on the right side of the bike, and the rear on the left. Maybe I'm just being pedantic.

No, you're being wrong. Both levers on the left is how every professional's road bike is set up*

*atomcf will now go to page 100 on a google image search and find one that's the wrong way around

3TTT 51.151 pursuit bars known as Moser

Yeah, I've got a pair of LA84's, they feel really nice, haven't ridden with them yet (need a Cinelli stem), but I really like the shape.

you've been here for over a year, and with your second post you put your own bike in porn thread... your bar/stem combo, or simply the bar itself, is also questionable, so not porn, sorry
