My new track bike is coming along

Fine. I'll tilt them a little (and then not say anything like thanks for the advice when I find them more comfortable). They seemed alright yesterday, but hopefully I'll have a decent sized stem installed for next weeks training.

My new track bike is coming along

Probs a vig.

"My new track bike is coming along."

Take it some progress has been made since that photo was taken ;)

^^Would be interesting to see if anyone could guess.
My guess is Cinelli Vigorelli..

Although obviously she should be told off for riding with her hands like that.

Yeah, looks like the bike doesn't fit her.

Bars, saddle and other components must be mounted, positioned and adjusted in accordance with the LFGSS online bikefit™ protocol, even if this means compromising your optimal and/or desired riding potion. Those are the rules.

fuck. +1 horns. love every angle.

so starting with drops because half the point of rebuilding this was to have a fixed bike I can actually do proper rides on, but I'll probably switch between these bar setups most of the time in town

also got some cheap track drops from tommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and I really like them but no stem for them atm and they'd only be for show...

I totally love Satan but I'd say drop bars would suit him best.

Tell me more about the LFGSS bikefit. I'm quite new around here...

49 x 14

Manly.

Riding a brake now B0N0R?

I would with 49x14..

So would I. Indra will be along in a minute to tell him he should be riding 66''

Oh shit, I thought riding 48/16 was bad. :( I need to HTFU.

48/16 is a ratio of 3.. If you're 15 years old I'd go for something a bit lighter.. 48/18 orso.

Yeah I'm in the process of buying a 19t cog.

Exactly 19t will even be better, bit spinny but nice for training your muscles.

Plus 19 skid patches beats 1 skid patch, AND much easier to apply back pressure.

What's your favourite gear ratio? >>>

It was for a sprint event, which is why it's got the brake too. Normally i'm on 49 x 18/19

Tunnel spec.
