This bike took me 2 months to build. It was expensive (I live in Canada), time consuming, frustrating, and I actually did lose sleep over it. I love her.

More Info:
My bars are for sale. They've just been mounted and as of writing this, I've only rode the bike once. Also, these photos were taken immediately after I picked it up. The bar position has been changed (fixed), along with some other fine tuning.
No, I'm not going to tape my bars. Track grips may happen at some point. No, I don't have foot retention yet, so it's being ridden single speed.
Also, the saddle...is killing my ass. Let's hope that changes, because it's beautiful.

you should definitely get some clips and straps and handlebar tape.

Can't tell if srs or trolling. Anyways, clips/straps are getting ordered today, and I'm not taping the bars.

i was serious about the clips and straps. since i know youre selling those bars i wouldnt wrap the ones your selling. but your new ones i'd definitely slap some tape or at least some grips on there. save the elbows and wrists.

That unicrown fork that comes with that frame set has been throwing me off but it really doesn't look too bad.
What kind of handlebars are you going to replace those with?
Posted over 11 years ago
The 2013 frames don't come with that fork anymore. It would have been a deal breaker for me as well.
Same bars, but bigger. These are so narrow that unless I choke the stem, it's a pretty unsafe ride.
