Anyone know which bars are on on the Kagero (#19346)?

Lookin' good B

You also asked about safety issues.
I looked into this when considering purchasing some carbon drops. Basically it boils down to how you treat your bike. I like throwing mine around so the answer was 'no' for me.
The grams the bars would shed outweighed the peace of mind I would lose.

This blurp is from Competitive Cyclist:

''An engineer at FSA summarized the carbon bar situation very succinctly. He said that if the consumer demands F1-quality componentry, they need to have an F1- type mentality about it. How expensive are the composite components on an F1 car? Outrageous. How many races do most of those components make it through? Oftentimes one only. The notion that such components are built to last as long as a well-made carbon or alloy frame is simply wrong and misses the point entirely. Carbon bars, like carbon rims, are made with pure performance in mind, i.e. durability isn't paramount.

So, to answer the question, are carbon handlebars safe? Yes they are. But if you crash them, or otherwise submit them to odd side loaded forces (such as having your bike tip over when leaning against your car or garage wall), do everyone a favor and replace them.''

Think about it.

I agree. It might have worked if he stopped at the frame/forks.

Looking good Hulsroy.

@ apollo: the possibilities are endless... 'αλάνι' works great too. I was thinking 'ρεμαλι' to keep up with the '-lli' part of the existing logo. Basically you just made my life more complicated. Sooo many words to chose from (& logos suck anyway).

@ 1000AA: 50 dorrah spokks? That's a reasonable price.

That's hilarious BONOR! Nice work for a 'quick jobby'.
You interested in tweaking this to perfection?
If so PM me to discuss what you would like in exchange.
Ideally it should begin with a small 'r'.

I sent V-L a PM yesterday night. Just thought this thread has more people following it. Worth a shot.

OT question/request!

Looking through this thread I've seen that BONOR, Titan Uranus, roboto & V-L have the graphic design/photoshop skills to make custom decals. Some have the means to print them out too.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested into making me some decals based on the cinelli font found on the histogram. I'd like to cover up the decals on the chainstays & possibly the downtube.

I'd like it to say 'remalli' (in greeklish) or possibly 'ρεμαλι' (in greek), with the first letter 'r' or 'ρ' having the cinelli wings on it. Same color (in blue, except for the first letter which would be white with a blue outline) & font of course.

If anyone puts in the time to do this I would obviously compensate them for their effort.

On theme with the low gravity bikes here is one I made last year from a sson cruiser frame.
It takes 80kg on the rack like a champ.

If you're willing to post it, I'll gladly take it.

weight please?

Hahaa! I had to look up who McCloud is through google images/youtube.
Apparently I'm not from the U.K. and I don't sound like that but I get what you mean though.
Now I'm even reading it in his voice...

So far this project has been about the collective brainstorming of two minds and the expertise of one of them being able to brilliantly execute these ideas.

However from the beginning, I can't help but thinking that this is more than just that. I think of it as a collaboration of two individuals who share a common love for cycling and a passion for creating the best products they can, in terms of quality, originality & attention to detail.

I have mad respect for creative people passionate about what they do in their lives.

Don't get me wrong, this bike is going to be epic on it's own but the pictures I really hope to see one day are those of it fully loaded with BRP bags, covered in mud in the middle of nowhere.

Just out of curiosity, have you already made the bags for this?
What's the max number of bags you'll be fitting?

This is gonna be a beast!

My question was actually aimed at those claiming that it is safe to do so (see comments # 28, #29).

It seams pretty sketchy/dangerous to me as well. I was just curious if anyone has done this.

Is it actually safe to drill them out or sand-paper them from 1 to 1 1/8?

Does anyone have any experience doing this?

jv? rik?

Thanks for the replies.
Got it but slightly bummed that his statement didn't stand true.
Possibly the differences he encountered in wheel strength, between wheel-sets were attributed solely to the quality of the build itself, e.g., one properly laced wheel set not tensioned correctly vs the subsequent ones laced like this but with more attention/experience...
He was quite confident with his workmanship and claimed to have experience in mtbing, offering a full refund if anything went wrong too.
Would you consider it inappropriate to ask for a small refund to get the wheels rebuild?
I don't know how to play this one out.
