Awesome awesome bars for building a party/bar bike. Tons of mounting points
These brakes really set up and center quite simply and effectively. It’s also really easy to dial in your preferred lever feel. Really digging the design. Braking power is awesome as well!
this is the perfect basket for anything big or small as long as you have a strap to lock it all in. if you are second guessing buying it -just buy it.
Added these in size 25.4mm to a vintage Fuji steel single speed bike. Helped with braking power and looks great. Easy install. Upgrade from zip ties. Bonus: check out my leather Velo Orange saddle
This crankset is a well designed, perfectly executed product manufactured by craftspeople who obviously care about high quality and a pleasing aesthetic.
I bought a pair of the retro cages with tabs for the rebuild of my Long Haul Trucker. I like how well made these cages are, and especially the look of a finer gauge material. They are not clunky looking like many cages, nor are they some kinda space age looking contraption. Perfect minimalist design! Thank you.
This rack is incredibly rigid and solid, with good hardware to support itm However, you may have to bend the very inflexible struts in on older forks which can put a lot of stress on the canti bolts, which in turn can cause them to snap off inside the braze-on if you overtighten them. One lesson learned, one screw extractor and a warranty-d bolt later, the rack has become an irreplaceable fixture on my commuter, supporting a rando bag and a Wald 137 interchangeably and with ease.
Remember to keep your canti bolts no more than wrist tight and you'll be set!
Exactly as I remember them from Syncros (very high quality) back in the day. They also work perfectly on my old Shimano XT crank. I couldn’t be more pleased.
I wanted to build a silver component disc road bike and purchased these brakes based on reviews. I installed these brakes w/ Centaur 11s brifters & RT66 160mm rotors. and it performed beyond my expectations. For reference I have Chorus hydraulic on my other road bike.
Solid brake feel, great modulation almost as good Chorus hydraulics. I love the fact that the in-board & out-board pad clearance is adjustable.
Important to read the manual which is very well written (rare these days).
Highly recommended.
I absolutely love this bike. I bought it on a whim because it’s cute but it’s so damn handy!
I love being able to take it on trains and ferries and it just tucks away without bothering anyone. Also escalators. When you’re cycling among crowds of people it’s so manoeuvrable that you’re never in any danger of hitting anyone.
It’s true what others have said, it feels solid and rides like a full size bike.
The bar has worked great for converting my drop bar touring rig to a more upright cockpit. Width, back sweep and rise are just about perfect. It's hard to find a bar like this in a 31.8, so Thank You VO!
What an incredibly supple tire on pave, tar/chipped roads, dirt and light gravel. Low rolling resistance and just enough bite when the pave’ ends. My new Goto for my 650b bike.
