Thanks... They are FSA Energy bars... Before you say it.... I know that my bars are at the wrong angle :unsure:  Looking for a compact bar at the moment, 42cm C - C.... Like the flat transition from the top of the bar to the hoods, hence the funny angle of the drops :rolleyes:


Now that you mention it :-). Just kidding. I like the traditonal shape. I've got some PRO compact bars if you want to swap, but they are 44's.

This thread reeks of racism. Looks like BEE is good and strong on the Hub.

I use the Ritchey WCS compact roadbars, awesome bars and amazingly comfy. Go look at cwc, they go for quite a good price there....

Got a bunch of medals,  would really appreciate an idea from the Hubbers as to what to do with them or make something with them. Attachment IMG00263-20110409-1046web.jpg

I had all mine hanging from hooks at the bar in my old place, unfortunately no space in my new place so I chucked 2 Checkers bags full away. Just kept the "special" ones like ultra marathons and PB's

Forget about puting the medals in a cabinet,this should be in a glass case.

I have seen a lot of white ones riding arround but very few of the black frames.

The white ones are popular because it's the model the Omegapharma-Lotto guys ride.  I just loved the black look and the bike rides better than she looks!  Would be a sin to put it in a case!  Saying that, I have a mate who bought a stunning black Focus, but is always too scared it's going to get dirty.  THAT's a crime!

As this seem to be a "mostly black" thread, does mine count?
