Looks like a workable amount of drop from saddle to drop of bar for me as mine are a bit lower than that and I ride in drops most of the time.

Does that mean I am not a mortal, wow. I may need more proof before I try out my immortality, not that I don't trust you.
Its how I ride my Midge bars. But they're mainly set-up for commuting etc.

The recommendation is to have dirt drops set-up so that the drop part is in-line with or just below saddle height. Basically the height you'd run your risers. This means the tops are often higher than the saddle, which is a bit fugly.

I guess you just dont ride down anything steep ;)

With my possible new found immortality I was going to try riding down the side of a tower block later and tower blocks are steep. I will let you know how the drop position felt.

Unfortunately I don't live anywhere steep, the best I can do off road are a few hills that get me up to 35mph which is fine in the drops.

^ This completely. It may look all-kinds-of-wrong in the eyes of roadies/commuters/fixieskidders but it works well once the terrain gets a bit more... er... 3D.

The spacers and short(ish) headtube up ^there^ are probably so people can use riser bars and set them at the right height. So it's flexibility at the expense of beauty.

And an old porn mag...

FUCK NO! It's been in anti many times fucking ugly bike...

Really?
Saddle+bars IMO questionable, but the frame looks well constructed to me, lovely lugs and track forkends transition nicely to the frame, paintjob is bang on, but the owner has gone a little overboard with the green :S

could've done itself more justice without the green vittorias and green rims :/

no its fucking rank,

the green is so anti its unreal

it was on ebay recenty and there was a photo of that bike how it SHOULD have been built, why he ever changed it i do not know

the green is so anti its unreal

So apart from the colour?

this thread is bike porn, paint job is a consideration in pornworthiness...

ofc but my question was, what else would make it anti? :/

wheels and seatpost for me... and that bar angle.

Personally I like it....but could only really be ridden by someone in full Robin Hood gear.....

Is it melting?

Had anyone seen the purple lowpro TT bike that was in the window of LMNH?
Was amazing, but no idea where it has gone now :/ would love to see a pic

deep rims on classic bikes, regardless of colorway

ofc but my question was, what else would make it anti? :/

the wheels themselves are not meant for that bike, its a very un sympathetic build and even it it were apt that colour scheme and matching tyres is enough to completely ruin it.

may as well put on a coloured chain and risers and be done with it

there, what av3 just said ^^^

must find pr0n to redeem oneself :|

Simple but effective? On the pr0n borderline, almost what normal bikes should resemble
