  • not porn, back brake and bottle cage on a track bike?

    it's a traditional keirin road trainer ...

    ^This. Same owner of this one.

    The very fact that has two brakes and bottle cage mounts should tell you its not a track bike. its 100 percent porn

    ^this.

    it is
    and those lazy guys still didn't chop the bars?..

    Why should they, that's how they are, not meant to be cut.

  • that's how they are, not meant to be cut.

    Ride uncut LA84s and then tell us they don't need cutting.

  • I have, on a 650c front bike, felt fine, but I have a really long torso/arms.

  • Really? It's OK, but not really pr0n

  • SS using Shimano cassetee mountings.

    And this is special why? I've had such a system by Novatec on my SS MTB for the last 7 years.

  • it is
    and those lazy guys still didn't chop the bars?..

    They are still uncut haha! Must admit I am really lazy!
    But good new is, brought the frame back to RIH last week to get
    the top tube repaired and once I have it back iil cut the damn thing!

  • the text needs 'stoke' added, 2px wide, but otherwise yes.

  • The Nagasawa has cable mounts on the top tube. This has sellotape?

  • Nagasawa was built with two brakes in mind. Not sure LOOK factory goes down to such level of customization.

  • ...once I have it back iil cut the damn thing!

    i think this sounds almost exactly like an excuse you had about a year ago... so let me see you actually do it


  • looks like the brake levers are too low on the bars

    So the rear bridge has been drilled out?

    Edit. So has the carbon fork crown?

  • Ha :)

    The Look is mine. Yeah, the brake cable is actually sellotaped on. I bought some of these guides: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=19014. But, I didn't really like them, they held the cable too far from the tube and were pretty conspicuous. I've tried cable ties, but I'm not keen on them and they tend to allow the cable to rotate about the tube. Next was electrician's tape which was okay, but covered the graphics on the top tube and wasn't very sticky, so I thought I'd try regular tape. Crazy, but it's worked out to be the best practical solution and the one that looks the best (if you can get over the fact that sellotaping it automatically screams out cheap, nasty, anti bodge). I'm going to look into a classier long term solution...maybe helicopter tape or something along those lines.

    The frame came factory drilled for front and rear brake. I'd run just a front, but not brakeless. But I hate the look of only one aero lever. I ride pretty much exclusively in the drops so a BMX style lever would be useless for me. And I figure if the frame is drilled and I insist on two levers, it'd be daft not to just fit the rear caliper and have two brakes. I agree the hoods look out of place on track bars, but they're perfectly fit for purpose. I do want to experiment with more road style track bars, probably from the Pro Vibe line, but not enough to go and buy some specially. If I catch a good deal on ebay or some show up on the classifieds, then we'll see.

  • yeah definitely needs road bar or aero bar even.

  • The frame came factory drilled for front and rear brake.

    What did it say on the box? Mine had "frein" on the box label, but only the fork was drilled.

    Can definitely recommend Pro Vibe round bars, got them on both my road bikes and my brother has them on his track bike. If it were mine, I'd use them with SRAM S500 levers, as they give a lovely transition.

    oops, sorry!

    Don't ask me why, but I had this picture on my phone (box was binned yonks ago).

    F(rame)464F(ixie)B(ridge)56(cm) perhaps? It was the "fixie" version that I ordered.

  • I'd use them with SRAM S500 levers, as they give a lovely transition.

    Do these have to run internally?

    Ha! Good marketing.
