New Bars & Brakes - Advice

[LEE]

I want to convert my drops to "Bull Horns" because I never use the drops.


I was thinking of the following combination:

Profile Stoker bars - fairly wide, maybe even 44cm.

Tektro RX4.1 "Reverse" brakes.

Anything I should be wary of?

It's a Single-Speed so no chance of that.

I found that the Profile stoker bars are long so you may need to use a shorter stem or cut a bit off both ends.  And I'm pretty sure no-one will mistake you for a hipster.

You need some sick bar tape

Also tyres in a different colour that does not clash

In fact, surveys show that many hipsters believe they are on fixed when in fact they are on single speed

Just grow some face hair and wear a distinctive hat

If you don't mind sacrificing the bars you've got, they look a good shape to saw off and invert.

Hubjub doesn't seeem to stock them at the moment, but you may be able to order from there?

They do have the RB002, which has less of a drop, but otherwise accepts brakes, etc.
