I may be being a knob, but why are there two levers? I only see one brake.

Drop brake levers are designed to be ridden just as much with your hands on the top of them as with your hands in the drops, so it's great to have that position available even if the lever is not connected to a brake.

(Fabian really likes riding on the hoods.)

Blue bikes can f*ck off.

haha! I generally feel the same, even though my bike has quite a bit of blue on it

what I really hate is green bikes though, especially dark green, yuck

I should have thought. I was being a knob.

But he can't sprint...

Fourth by a whisker ain't too bad on the hoods...

It's not like his bars are exceptionally low or anything. I think the elbow angle must remind him of his TT bike or something.

Apparently the horizontal forearms are better aerodynamically than the same torso position with the arms extended down to the drops.

He doesn't need to.

If only the drops were taped....

Love it otherwise

Tapped for what?
I see you...

He'd have got third on the drops, you can't do a proper "get out of the saddle and avit" to start a sprint when you're on the hoods.

I saw someone win a sprint on 3T Scatto(? sphinx bars) on the weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary there except that he was on the hoods position. Those bars need banning, or the commissars need to give out specific instructions to their use.

why did people post so much ugly shit lately ?

Sphinx is the one with 'hoods', it would take a considerable effort to get any grip on the top half of the Scatto

Can you imagine getting beaten in a sprint by someone delicately resting the heels of their hands on the top of those Scatto's, as if they were gripping non-existant drops? That would suck.

Here's a piece about the 3T Sphinx: http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/03/track/cam-meyer-to-ride-sculpted-bar-at-track-worlds_109041

Ugly fuckers and I don't think much of the wrist angles needed to use the "hoods" position.

I preferred Jamie Staff's ink.

That's the ones. Scary watching people ride the whole race on that part of the bar.
