Why are lo pros good to ride round london?

lol.

Just got my lo pro (or whatever it is) finished, and it's so much more comfortable to ride than my old track bike. I was just riding around with a smile yesterday :)

.

They look lovely.

First time I sat on one (albeit not a great fit for me) it was Sano's full-on hipster 650 spinergy (?) ratbike. And I was pissed on mead. But it felt really surprisingly nice, to me, someone that tends to ride traditional geometry bikes out of some weird idea that they're just proper. It felt so manoevrable and just great.

the Rustbucket was an awesome ride too.
i will miss that little fucker.

I giggled at someone's LoPro on a forum ride because, although it looked beautiful, I thought it was probably impractical.
Later on I parked my Jackson (a most comfortable and practical bike) next to theirs and realised that the riding position on the LoPro was no more extreme (and possibly less so) than mine.
I had to apologise for my misconceptions .

You can teach an old dog new tricks. (That's as much aimed at myself as you, fruitbat)

Although I can see why people like the look of the actual bike - I think its pretty cool too, some (not all) people look really daft on them. All hunched up over the front of a diddy wheel.

look at scott (scot?)'s lo pro's .. two of the nicest i've seen.
next project is gonna be one inspired by them.

Wanna race?

Not right now...

Do many people still use Low Pros on the track? I've never seen one used there.

I found one in a shop at the weekend, proper classic Raleigh Team Banana, campy pista cranks, disk wheels, was very tempted but there was no chance it would fit me. Does anyone know how much something like that would go for?

Low-pros won't be allowed in proper races. UCI/IOC rules, innit. Just too wicked.

I love the way they look, but I can't ever imagine buying one unless I was earing 100k a year or something, I'm just to boring / tight. There scope is too narrow for me. For this reason I feel guilty about my BMX every time I look at it, narrow scope.

They just look cool

???

I always suspected you were a bit of a Scoper Tommy ;)

A gaggle of beautiful lo-pros making sweet love in Brick Lane last night... Left to right: shootthebreeze's, rik's, horatio's...

middle one is gorgueous.

i need a lo pro .. frame and fork budget is 400.. i'm not to familiar with lo pro frames, will i get something for that price (preferably new).

It's just another style of bike, and as long as it's set up well for the rider, there's no problem. Diversity FTW!

PM sent BillyBob.

Get out of my country.

billybob, that's a big budget... you could any of the lo-pros in BLB for that, they have the Affinity lo-pros (naff) and some other modern ones too if you're inclined.

ah, saw horatio's lo-pro outside the big chill last night, it's chuffing lovely.. there's a pretty sweet black one with a gold stem/bar combo that is quite often locked up down near there too - is that anyone on here's?

can't wait to get mine on the road

Wondered how long that would take.

Wrong collective noun surely.
