Lo Pros, Represent

Why does everyone have angled saddles on their lo-pros?

Surely your shoulders, arms and wrists would be killing trying to hold your body from slipping down the saddle.

Even Garrett Chow gets it wrong.

Correct saddle angle.

I have an angled saddle on all my bikes due to a certain health issue, but leveled the saddle on the Orlobro en route to work this eve which seems comfortable so far.

I did throw it together pretty quick (just check out chainbreakers build thread, not sure he even has a saddle to angle yet...) so still making adjustments, stem needs adjusting too for a little more reach.

Looking back, it's only your bike and the Bianchi.

But if you're still tweaking it, fair enough.

It's not just Lo-Pros, and it's usually indicative of having the saddle too high.

I've put my team tvm gazelle up in the classifieds..... Chance for an historic lo-pro!

Cross post, my latest toy. Not certain what she is though!


And how she sits now with a new headset

bit of advice wanted.
starting to get parts together for my lush new Fort low pro frame. So far I've bought some Profile Design T2 bullhorns off the bay and am now thinking about a stem. I'm going to try find something with a slight rise to it as to cut out ugly spacers. Reckon a 10mm rise Thomson X2 should do nicely.
What you lot reckon?

Are you building a lo pro or a HHSB? Thomson would be fine for the latter, but there are plenty of better, cheaper, forged stems to choose from for a proper bike.

Bit of a HHSB but yeah it is a low pro frame.
Open to other options for 31.8 clamp ahead

Genetic AQ, no spacers.

it is a low pro frame

Unless you're about 6'7", a Fort will be a faux pro

^ nah I'm definitely not that. Ah fair enough. Worries over then

This looks pretty low...

Get a X2. Looks good and won't break.

If you're looking to spend less I'm sure you can shop about for something just as good. Or if you're looking to cut weight you could do the same. But if you don't mind spending the £30 and want something which is basically all black and a decent stem then go for it.

Oh but if get one don't use it for evil like that ^^

Evil like that?

He's called Apollo XL for a reason.

He was called Apollo XL for a reason.

Depends on who's holding the fort.

This is rad. I wanna see some closeups of that paint!

I've seen that one around, I think a kid was riding it.
Has some funky paint.
Really sick build!
