Two things jumped out at me: the simple/non-adjustable saddle support, and the absolutely slammed bars affixed just above the fork. Was that normal for track bars at the time?
- loeg 2y agoYeah, both are relatively insane choices by modern lights. You see some other track bikes of that era with fork-mounted handlebars (it's not unique) but I believe conventional stem + bars were more popular.
- fiatpandas 2y agoTbh I love the simplicity of the hard coded saddle post + support. Both being made out of the same tube size.
- mollusk 2y agoCheck out the Soviet Takhion [1] track bike for a similar handlebar setup. Cinelli also had a version of their legendary Laser [2] bike with that setup. 1: https://bikecult.com/works/archive/03bicycles/takhionVVVV.html https://bikecult.com/works/archive/03bicycles/takhionVVVV.ht... 2: https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/cinelli-laser-aero-pursuit-34049 https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/cinelli-laser-aero-pursuit-34...
