So I made a slight modification to my fixed gear...

I thought about selling it, but was TBH a little half hearted about advertising it. So not using it for commuting at the moment and plannning to do some more time trials this year I thought I could modify it slightly. So with a set of cut down drop handlebars to make a base bar and a pair of Token aerobars it now looks like this...

How did you make the bull horns?

Looks good

Looks rad!

How are you finding the levers on the base bar? They look to be angled a bit too much unless you're out of the saddle.

Same set-up on proper pursuit bars (Cinelli Tempo):

I thought the same but when riding it it seems to work pretty well. The brakes are fairly sensitive anyway so don't need too much pressure applied, I did rotate the bars slightly which you can see in the pics, the bullhorns used to be in line with the aerobars and are now tilted slightly upwards to give a slightly better braking position.

Just need the legs to go with it then.....

That is where the problems begin, it is fine if it is flat...

Awesome. I've seen a couple of TT fixed on my main forum. What ratio are you running?

Thanks.

It is on 48x17 at the moment as my power to weight ratio is a little less power and a little more weight than would be ideal

@Pysyclist: Gearing for fixed is related to the type of course you will be riding, often between 80" & 100".
(Unless you're riding in a 'medium gear event', then it has to be 72" or less.)
