My Bianchi Pista - the only change I've made was to replace the track bars with bull horns in celeste bar tape

my new (to me) carlton fixie

not in pristine condition, but the frame could be over 50 years old. has a mixture of modern kit on, but as it cost me the price of a chinwag, i'm more than happy with it.

will make a good winter fixie…

I also have Blackbird, a Raleigh Sun Solo foxed conversation. This is the best pic I've got of her at present:

This is a question rather than a criticism, but I really don't understand why some fixed riders put these what to me seem both impactical and totally fugly stem/bar/grips combinations on what are otherwise rather beautiful bikes. Is it just a fashion (which I clearly don't 'get') or is there another reason I am missing?

Have just noticed that "fixed conversion" turned into "foxed conversation"

Depends on the type of fixed rider your talking about. Could be for aesthetics or fashion. Also notice a lot of trendy fixed riders sit in upright riding possitions with very narrow arm possition. They sometimes use this sort of setup to get that. If the bike is used for tricks, to make it more smooth when spinning the bars (they are BMX stems) because it brings the mass closer to the centre of rotation.

Personally I like the way it looks on some bikes, well I like riser bars anyway, not so much a fan of BMX stems.

Its rather practical for me to have riser bars and a short stem,I ride every day to work with a medium to large pack and prefer upright position and the riser bars are actually wider then the retro style pista ones that came with the bike which wreak havoc on my carpal tunnel syndrome , at 43 I'm hardly a fashion hipster and the grips well they were just lying around but are gone now replaced by black ones . Hope that answers your question.....

Thanks. Makes perfect sense in that context. I'm lucky enough to have no problem with my hands, so the pista bars are fine.
