I work as a messenger and most of my riding at work and off work is done in the city.
I tried different bars for this bike and I found that this bullhorn with a slight drop (Nitto RB001) is the comfiest. Not gonna use the drops inside the city anyway, so no point for them.

I've only ridden MTB before, even in town.
My last rusty, twisted, walmart-tier MTB was stolen a few weeks ago (snipped lock).
I got this old Raleigh for free to replace it.
I feel like the handlebar is too low, can I switch the stem for a longer one?
It's not even comfortable to reach the brakes this way, even dangerous.

>>893468
And this is my stay-at-home MTB.

>>893468
you can move the brake hoods much further up the bar. The limiter is you should still be able to reach the brakes with atleast 1 finger from the drops position. You could also rotate the bars further up, the limiter being that you should still be able to grip the drops without your hands sliding off because they're too steep.

However, you're supposed to actually pedal on a road bike, not just coast like a lazy cunt. I imagine things will begin to make sense once you put in a bit of fucking effort.

>>893472
Okay, I'll get it to the workshop next week and fiddle with the positions.
Also when I got it the bars where at such an angle, brakes had to be triggered with thumbs. WTF?
I know it's a gottagofast bike, but I can't really do that between two red lights and six gorillions cars in Paris.

Yes you can don't be a pussy faggot. The safest way to ride in traffic is to outpace it. That's old man grandpa tier relaxed setup anyway, nothing wrong with that, but jesus, git gud son. Also angle your wheels quick releases along the tubes so they don't snag open, and photograph bikes from the other side.

>>893479
The quick releases will go anyway, as I've already been stolen wheels and saddles.
Why the two bottle mounts?

>>893480
That's not my bike, just an example, but it's really good to have 2 bottle cages. You should drink 1 large bottle every hour (more in the heat). Sports drink (buy a big tub, not that expensive) is better than water because you'll get sugar which you burn off immediately and which really helps and electrolytes which you lose from sweating and which you need to stay hydrated. It's ok to have 1 bottle and refill with water, along the route, but sports drink is better. I like to mix it up a bit, ice tea in one bottle, or whatever. I've been drinking mostly just water, 1 bottle and refilling it, but we're just coming out of winter. In summer, just water is not really viable. Plus bottle cages are handy as fuck for carrying anything. I had some bbq pork buns stuffed in one today. Get a bottle cage dude. If you want 2, use hose clamps + an old tube to protect the frame.

>>893468
Nitto makes a tall quill; model name is "Technomic." I'm unfamiliar with French vendors other than xxcycle, so just fart around online to see who stocks it. As mentioned, you can rotate the handlebar upward a bit and move the brake levers aft to better suit your arm length.

>>893318

Nice bike, tho i think the -17 degree stem kinda hurts its look. At least in my imagination it does.

I was in the same situation you're in at the beginning of this season. Thankfully in Germany you can get expensive as fuck TT bikes in a barely-ever-used state for 1.5 - 2.5k €

I'm strongly considering something like this except white wheels for riding to and from the bar/grocery store/work. Seems so damn comfy.

>>893554
Not so much as comfy as it is fun.

>>893499
Sure but put some less shitty reflectors on, the back one isnt even straight. You should have front and rear faceing light though, not reflectors and why just one single reflector on the back wheel?

Mixmatching wheels are is cool, dont go back

Fair points, these reflectors were on the bike when I got it and I never even considered changing them. It was 5am in summer so I didn't bother putting my lights on.
I like the mismatched wheels but wish the spokes were the same colours,

53t, not 54t. It is a TT chainring, though. Was cheaper locally than buying a regular red chainring, and is supposedly hella stiff while being vertically compliant. /s

It's not the sport no, just the standard E5. Overall I like the frame, the ride is pretty smooth even on the shitty roads in my area. However, I'm making that statement without a whole lot to compare against. My previous bike was a cheap Schwinn cruiser, and my only other comparative basis consists of the bikes I test rode before picking this one. It beat out the Caad8 and an SE Racing Royale.

New Scott Speedster after 40 miles in the rain and flooding here in Houston... Well after an hour of cleaning and relubing too. The LBS I frequent stopped carrying Scott so the owner gave me it at cost because Ive bought two other bikes and tons of parts from them. Sora and Tiagra grouping and heavy wheels, but super fun and cant beat the price I paid.

That's a sweet bike. I love Scott but they're disappearing near me too. Underrated as fuck. How much was at cost?

This is my 2014 Scott Speedster 40.

Originally around $900; I got it for $400 on consignment. The guy apparently rode it 3 times, and traded it in for a recumbent. His loss, my gain.

It now has a bike lock, computer, water bottle, LED front/rear lights, and an AssSaver seat mudguard.

I use it mostly for rides around town, on trails, aswell as to and from class.

why DONT more companies utilize reflective/glow in the dark paint, as an added protective measure for night time riding?

I know some company makes a sprayable reflector but why not just make it part of the bike originally? you could even just do reflective paint on the rear instead of the whole thing

>>895168
that's one of the coolest beaters I've seen for a while. Where did you source the frame?

>>895169
Kijiji.

The guy had apparently acquired it brand new, had it stripped with the intention to paint it, and never got around to it. I've got no idea what brand it is but I don't particularly care. It's definitely become my fun bike.

If I get around to getting a rear brake cable, I'll probably toss on a smaller chainring and run it SS instead of fixed.

>>894987
I think that would look pretty good with a seatpost rack.

The other fixed gear I finished up a few days ago. Smaller chainring + freewheel = bitchin SSCX

>>896307
I've got it properly set up now as I moved over to the freewheel side, but as pictured it was done as a parking brake. When the quick release was down, the brake clamped the wheel and didn't turn. Good for short stops in a store where I didn't have my lock on me.

The battery is actually inside the frame itself.
Found a pic on the interwebs of very similar setup

>>894290
Thank you! Those are some no name fenders I found in a dumpster, sorry I have no idea on the make/model. Yes the rear shifter is on indexed, but the front runs only on friction.

>>896795
i've a similar pair i g picked of a trashed schwinn a while back - not as nice as those though.
really nice use of what i'm assuming is a mid 90's hybrid frame - again, that's a really well executed and inspiring build.

>>896743

Just bought, what u bois think?

Peugeot Princeton Deluxe, got for $200
-excellent condition, no rust anywhere
-gear teeth all flat on top. The thing was almost never ridden
-renders and rack
-Aris twist shifters
-headlight/taillight with the friction-from-wheel power system
-new kryptonite U lock
-air pump

>>897525
Oh, and the tires are brand new also (still have the hairs)

>>897446
Sweet ass hills. Single speed for those steep shits? Where is that anyway and do you live there?

>>895153

The glow in the dark thing is just a cool gimmick. I had had to charge it up real good with a few full power flash pops and do a long exposure in a mostly dark room just to get it to look that bright.

>>897534
UV light charges photoluminescencent materials extremely well. they sell UV LED flashlights as big as keyrings now. or just the LEDS themselves for pennies.

>>897525
Pretty cool, looks like well thought out commuter bike.

I'd be curious to see some pictures of your shifters and derailers, if it's all Sach Aris components you have something uncommon there (rare but not valuable).

You took the photo from the wrong side you doofus. Dat bottle generator and kickstand. If they're 700c wheels you can sell those old original tires to some retro douche online maybe at a silly price, and then replace with modern ones which will be vastly superior.

you spent a lot of money on this, too.

for that price, you came up big. you'd probably spend close to that for the fenders, lights, rack, and generator individually. it's not an awesome bike, but the way it's kitted, it is a very good bike.

please tell me about the generator. make & model, and I would like to know how much resistance it creates. when you spin the rotor with your finger, is it like spinning a rollerskate wheel, or is it like spinning a spoon in peanut butter? the oldschool ones were the later, but yours seems more modern.

anyone else have info on them? if the frction is low, I'd rather that than lacing a generator hub into my wheel.
