What I want to know is how you ride with your bars like that.

^ Same height as lower end of drops would be, but bassackwards.

I got a lot of comments on it, but its really comfortable. My swimmer build really enjoys it, especially with bikes on the smaller side.

Nice dude, not a fan of eastern frames, but nice looking bike.

I used to ride BMX, had fun, but sucked bad so I gave it up, lol

Its beautiful. You have to ride it to understand. Theres a bunch of positions and i only ride in the "drop" section when sprinting.

I almost cut like 2 inches off of em but i decided to experiment a little and kept tilting them down towards where David had them and they kept getting more comfy....

Guys, FS here first:
Cinelli drop bars (measure 38.5cm c-c between the drops) and Cinelli 130mm stem. Dont know much about them. Id guess early/mid 1990's but they are pretty awesome. I just dont like drops. at all... Have pretty clean Sram white tape.









Asking $70 + shipping for the whole set. Willing to split em for you homos i guess...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Prolly a little too close c-c, but I still love that stem.

funny story about that measurement... I meant 38.5 not 28.5cm c-c in the drops...

Im willing to split up the set dude. Its a prefect stem for your 8 foot tall self

[Farbin Kaiber]

I know, I have a ritchey and some mtb risers, I want to go back to drops with that stem...

[So Live]

... make offer broseph, this is why i posted it here first. Id rather split it up for you gaiz than post on ebay...

Score: Brand new MKS alpha fit double straps, MKS steel clips, MKS Sylvan lite pedals for $100. Sometimes LBS is a good thing.

^holy shit that stem is ugly. Did you buy the wrong sized frame or something?

[Jand3rson]

Dude. I went for like a 3 mile ride today, and thought I was going to die when I got home. Fuck winter, I am SO OUT OF SHAPE.
