cruzer555 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 This thread reminds me I should get back into riding... Haven't in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ran over someone's bike yesterday in the last corner of a crit. Guy wiped out in a tight corner, his bike kicked into my path. Not pleasant to hear and feel his bike crack as I rode over the rear triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nice to see the real frame mike..no Felt is a good thing. i was very happy with the felt as a beg to int. frame. the Lynskey frame should do me for a long time now. I've been hunting for a Ti frame for some time. I just didn't have the money for a new Archon T1 frame even pulling in every favor i had.

Tommy. Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Looking to get a few new pieces for my bike. Pretty excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy. Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Ok got a few questions bike people. I love riding bullhorns, always have and probably always will. I recently came across these pursuit bars, bullhorn like in design but they drop off and I have never used bars like this. I was curious if anyone here has used them and could give me some insight what you may have liked or disliked. I am leaning towards them cause I would be able to change hand positions quite frequently and easily. Obviously handlebars are really personal and subjective to the rider but I have never rode anything besides bullhorns so if you have rode them or know of someone some impressions of them may be nice for me to consider Also they come in a 31.8 so that's pretty appealing to me and my large frame. I am running a Schwinn Le toure frame (don't know the exact year, 1970-1990 i believe, mike correct me if I'm wrong) It's this frame but I sandblasted it and painted it green, taping off all original logos. If I were to run these bars doing some research shows me I would need a threadless stem adapter... Any recommendations on a good one? The company that makes these pursuit bars also sells a stem that would make mounting the bars super easy so I wouldn't need to mess with handlebar clamp diameter and wondering if they would fit etc... I know it's a lot, I tried to break up the text. Thanks! Edited March 13, 2013 by Tommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride what You like and don't listen to anyone I would guess that frame is late 70s by looking at it.. You would need a quill to threadless 1'-1-1/8 adapter and a 1-1/18 threadless stem that fits a 31.8 bar Edited March 14, 2013 by scumcity14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any stem adapters you would recommend? Or just any old one off amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy. Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 http://www.amazon.com/Dimension-Steerer-Adaptor-quill-Threadless/dp/B001CJZ7ME/ref=pd_sbs_sg_2 I thought about this one. Maybe get a few risers as well to adjust height as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjmcarz Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 This thread reminds me I should get back into riding... Haven't in a couple years. Same here, rode just a few times last year.
