You might go backwards in a headwind

I reckon you could manage a 200km Audax on that!!

Will it be called Elvis?

It's fantastic!

Not quite up to lugging fence panels, but here's my Moulton APB on the way to the ~~tip~~ recycling centre this morning:

This is the latest incarnation of my Ridgeback Hybrid... commuter... tourer... off-roader...

I stripped it down with the intention of getting it resprayed, but that never happened. With a propstand and that box on the back it is the most useful bike in the shed at the moment. I'd really like some swept-back handlebars too.

Take off the mudguard and rack and it could be an achingly trendy London street fixie. Sawn-off bars?

I have seen that bike in the flesh

, I liked the idea enough that yesterday I took a new-ish dawes road bike that had a murdered drive train and rusted cable stops and converted it to the same format.

The chain tensioner is a bit of a giveaway though, most of the fakengers in London at least attempt to continue to pedal whilst braking to try and hide the fact they're on singlespeed.

Now equipped for the club evening 10's, which start this evening. I'm hoping that I won't need to spend any more £££'s on this one (at least for the rest of the year) - it's been quite an expensive project! Of course next year I'll want a full-on carbon time trial bike with disc wheel, aero helmet... and it goes on.

Very nice. How many 'rounds per minute' do those machine guns spit out?

токамак · « **Reply #1462 on:** 30 April, 2009, 01:13:04 pm »

Am I meant to cut those down a bit? I don't know... I tried it up and down the road last night and I can get what I think is a good aero tuck position with the arm rests near my elbows and my hands gripping not far from the end of the bar.

Absolutely not. You might decide to move onto pastures new and they're not really resellable
if butchered. JMO.

The instructions were pretty useless - I think they were for an earlier model of bar.

Moloko · « **Reply #1465 on:** 30 April, 2009, 01:22:36 pm »

It's sooooo WoMD.

Wheels of Massive Distinction?

And move big bales about on the local farm should it be necessary!

Now that I've used them in anger (last night's club 10) I can fully appreciate what a difference they make, comfortable and stable too.

Frenchie · « **Reply #1471 on:** 01 May, 2009, 10:05:32 am »

I haven't cut my bars either... They look pretty much like yours and are really comfy.

Dinamo · « **Reply #1472 on:** 01 May, 2009, 01:57:27 pm »

Another Evening 10s convert, added new wheels and tri-bars.
