Old Lugged Ribble fixie

[Tharg2007]

Finished it last night (sort of) Old ribble frame, powder coated, bunch of new bits on it, miche large flange hubs with mavic cxp33 rims and a bunch of other bits.
Rode it to work and back today, really nice ride. need to change the stem for a shorter one and also bars need changing as I don't like the drop on these. Also pedals that bonj kindly supplied also need to be fitted TONIGHT!!

Very smart - don't forget to get a blue valve cover for the front

I could use a decal or sticker as a headbadge but it needs to be something odd or quirky, so if you have something in mind let me know

I like it, a nice blue, colours seems to work well.
The bars look like they are really long though, but i suppose thats personal preference.

Young Un, when you gonna get a fixed then?

The bars look like they are really long though, but i suppose thats personal preference.

you looking at the first pics or the updated ones? bars were too long before so swapped with the nitto bullhorns, alot shorter and no drop on them, perfect for my commute.

On one pic they look short, on another they look longer then the other.
Might be an optical illusion though. Forgot to ask, what are those bars like to ride compared to drops?
