What are the bars? They look like they curve back from the clamp before heading off to the drops.

Actually, I think the bars look incredibly comfortable. Lots of possible hand positions.

I agree they do look comfortable. I've never seen bars like that before though. Having done a bit of googling they look a bit like Nitto Noodle bars: -

Not dissimilar, but the abrupt change in angles looks more like the early noughties 'ergo' bars you used to get.

Nice, anyway.

Really nice bike - the hammerite looks good!

Those handlebars are pretty wild - start off like a butterfly bar and then end in an ergo drop! Awesome.

Enjoy it.

They're ITM marathon bars, I'll try and get a better pic this evening.

The pic is flattering to my (lack of) Hammeriting skills.

I think it's only a 'gas tube' frame but from my brief ride I think it's going to be fun

I've only had a short spin on ITM Marathon bars. I bruised my forearms when riding on the drops but YMMV.

A customer recently requested a fixed/singlespeed. I started from scratch with a 70s Elswick . . .

Bonus points if you can identify the feet! This is how it looked after powder coating.

Dual pivot, deep drop calipers, 100mm quill stem. The hubs were for protection.

H. Lloyd supplied the decals, magical detail.

Going for the 'brakeless' look.

Applying water slide decals like these requires three hands!

The finished article. Say what you like about the Alfine chainset, the customer asked for that look.

Handbuilt, large flange, sealed bearing hubs, Duranos and a Madison Flux saddle.

A unique bike. Anyone want something similar?

That's really pretty.

Why, thank you! I try . . .

There are those that say I'm very trying!

The Elswick is lovely...

PH · « **Reply #1013 on:** 21 October, 2013, 10:03:09 pm »

That is very nice. Do you have to put anything over the transfers?

Moultonaught · « **Reply #1014 on:** 24 October, 2013, 04:12:01 pm »

Been busy fettling:

Brooks honey bar tape
Carradice SQR bracket (awaiting new bands as the ones sent were faulty, but fab service from the Carradice Ladies)
Proofhided the ti B17
Green valve caps
SKS commuter mudguards
Stainless P clips
Lubed the chain
2nd bottle cage and zefal mounts

H. Lloyd Cycles recommend an oil-based varnish over waterslide decals. I hit it with about 4/5 coats of acrylic but started with two 'mist coats' from around a metre away and around an hour anna half apart. There was no reaction using Hycote clear acrylic.

Just because it worked for me is no guarantee it will work for you!

Fixed the black (Raleigh) Burton and added some mudguards and saddlebag

That looks lovely and has brightened up a less than good start to the day...

Yes, nice. Neat.

It doesn't stop being a delight to see (and, I suspect, to ride).

BTW, how have you attached the Barley(?) to the Regal saddle? Cyclo loops, or similar?

clarion · « **Reply #1023 on:** 07 November, 2013, 09:55:05 am »

Looks like a Bagman 2 Sport to me.

Doh. 'Just looked up Bagman Sport 2 - I hadn't appreciated that it has the bracket for the two top straps as well (I use an SQR).

Thanks.
