Lo Pros, Represent

My Gazelle Triathlon Trophy, formerly property of James (Jeez):

700C wheels front and back, so it's not utterly crippling; I currently just ride a 20 mile round trip a day.

looks nice! wish mine had a 700c front, wana swap?

nice saddle

Hi guys
If one of my bikes that i've got for sale here, i'dd probably invest in a lo pro frame to ride fixed.
But what i was wondering, isnt this incredibly scary to ride?
In traffic then i mean.
And is it confortable? Opinions?

If you can ride a normal bike with your hands on the hook of the drop bars all the time, a properly fitted lo-pro will feel exactly the same, and be just as safe and comfortable.

Well not all the time, it does start to hurt my lowerbackbone after some time.
Is this just matter of practice?
If so, and a bike gets sold i'd defenitly go for one. Just love the looks of em

...or you could do this =))

...or you could do this

You could, but nobody who had any taste would ;-)

^ what he said =))

because the riser bar is left too wide - needs to be cut shorter

i haven't road mine much compared to my other bikes but you get used to it, i done about 10 miles on it (without stopping) and i was ok, also if your bars are not stupidly low and you keep up a good speed it helps, i find it keeps the pressure of my hands a bit, but I'm no expert

but i think through rush hour or lots of traffic its a stupid idea

I dunno.

Over a short distance you don't feel as much neck/arm pain.

So you could say they are more suited to sprints?

Loads of couriers run them in traffic all day.

I took mine out for a 35km ride once or twice a week last summer and no pain or whatsoever.
Was only wishing for some actual tt bars every now and then for some change of hand- (and a bit more aero) positioning.

i guess it depends how its set up actually, if its got risers or flat bullhorns, the frame isnt to small and a ratio that isnt to hard i guess it would be good

i think as long as you have another bike that's a bit easier on the body it will be fine

Ok, cheers guys
Now just waiting on a sale so i can invest :)
Cuz let's be hounest these frames look sick :D

Rode 100 miles in a day on my dave yates, with profiles airwings. Wasn't the most uncomfortable but it wasn't completely pleasant either - but it wasn't supposed to be.

Here is my Lo-pros
