when I bought mine (living in finland) I had to pay for about 50e for the shipping and taxes on the top of that.

Depends on what you want. I've had a visp and a nelson. Sold the visp after few weeks and the nelson ive been riding for 2 years now. 200e vs 300e. It is just one more day of 9 to 5 to do. Nelson beats visp in every way by a lot in my opinion. And on the top of that, guys at cyclingbasket are really nice compared to anonymous ebay dude. I'll rather give my euros to them.

had one of those, they are cheap and ok but you could save another 100 and buy a nelson or something 2nd hand.

Pretty frame. But what are the wheels even for?

:)

the rider might be quite a big dude so he/she needs strong wheels.

maybe change the wheels, (or keep the front and put something black on the rear) on that sram s80 thingie and its fine, not anti imo either.

eheheh, with just straight downtube about the same diameter as the other 2 main tubes it would be kinda meh but ok, now >>>>>>>>>>>>>

controversial, but in a way digging it, and if course there always has to be someone fighting for the little guy (against mash haters)

only thing I would change is the stem and grips.

carbon

They always look like they're going to snap!

Did a short 40km test run, carradice (camper longflap) did hit the wheel after some bumps, now doing fine after redoing the setup (the low attachment thingie is now through the saddle rails, not seatpost, so the bag sits up higher.) Works like a charm now, although im suprised by how much adding a bag full of stuff changes how the bike feels.

Any half decent bicycle shop should sell those Abus framebag, not the best, but it did help hold the necessary for the Dun Run.

I do recommend a back brake more than a freewheel, even on fixed, you'll find it's a lots more comfortable to not use your legs to slow you down every now and then (especially on descent).

yeh, back brake would be pretty useful, even when riding fixed. Mainly going to ride along the coastline so hills wont be that major feature (I hope). Been thinking about a frame bag like that, might be pretty good for snack and camera and stuff like that.

38liters of space available for gear at the moment. Still got to sort out some kind of tube shaped bag for tools to be carried in the bottle cage. Leaving in a week or something. Rostock to Paris. Still need to put ergo hood brake levers and a freewheel (just in case).

adb-x to rb0010a. so far the best bullhorns ive ridden.

Only thing I hate about my roller is the +2cm on the toptube compared to seattube. Had to go size down on that. I've never fully understood why they make them like that. Seems like most of ppl dont like it at all. What's the benefit of not having a square geo?

for 499 doesnt seem that bad if the components and frame are half decent. Was expecting something like 1000e.

should be lighter unless on a really cheesy superaero build

get this

if you just have to get the looks.

it aint cheap though.

the look also needs a proper stem

put some aerospokes on it while you are at it

that's just stupid

that's like bragging about beating up children or something

harsh but fair putting it here, silver open pros and I'd ride it.

nitto rb010aa and world champion tape on my roller. Going to ride it rostock to paris next month!

I don't know if I really like drop bars. I'ìm going to buy grips for drop bars, and see how is the feeling without the bar tape.

If by feeling you mean how confortable they are to ride, bars with tape are more confortable than ones without.

If you are going for more mash-skidding looks, of course a bullhorn is better choice. Nitto also makes ones http://www.tokyofixedgear.com/products/129-Handle-Bars---Bullhorns/
