  • Mann I want a lo pro soo bad, but they all seem to be too small, f****ng 57!!

  • mine is 62

  • I had a 58.

  • lucky sod... when, where, how?!

  • i just bought a 61cm one

  • me?

    haven't seen nutsjesmoar's or spotter's

    links chaps?

    Hopefully mine will be here this week

  • Have you lowered the saddle and put it a bit more to the front?

    i'm trying it out today.

  • 3 months. 35-40 miles each day monday to friday and the occasional long ride.

    Thats a large commute for brakeless ;)

  • Nah it's not. 17 miles to work is not that much, is it?

  • Depends on the terrain.

  • If there are no mountains then I suppose not. Wish mine was a bit longer than my measly 3 miles

  • mine is 30 a day, good enough.

  • 17 miles isn't too much. I'm at uni and doing a work placement so i ride around london basically. Moved the seat forward and lowered the saddle, it didn't work too well, chafed a bit =/.

  • Dunno if I'll get flamed for posting my bike (wich have a 700c fork) here but here it goes :P

    OK, if you insist.

    Look at the hand position when you hold the bullhorn; is that where your hands are when you're on the drops on your track bike? No? Then it's not a lo pro.

  • Nice, maybe a bar end lever would be better suited but other than that a real tasteful build.

  • I concur, looks lovely. It is a lo pro.

  • Orlowski = lo pro, affinity = faux pro

  • Forward sloping top tube = lo pro

  • ^ this

    ...although: 2 x 700c = lo pro and 700c x 650c or 700c x 24inch = lower pro?
    no?

  • Forward sloping top tube = lo pro

    No

    ...although: 2 x 700c = lo pro and 700c x 650c or 700c x 24inch = lower pro?
    no?

    No

    Bullhorns positioned to replicate drop bar position = Lo Pro

    Nothing else.
    A lo Pro can have a 700 front wheel and a horizontal top tube, for a very tall rider it might even have both of those things and a conventional stem, as long as it meets the above test.

    Sloping top tubes and small front wheels were both in use before the Lo Pro was invented.

  • Mine has 700 front and a horizontal top tube and a conventional stem

    and risers.

  • Mans be riding a hi-pro.

  • bro pro.
