Agreed. Don't wanna take a core out of your thigh! Really nice bike, though. Love the raw steel and polished aluminum.

heh, ive gotten that from a lot of people. I think more of a concern with the bars is the lack of grip. i dont want to put any standard grips on so i might find a drill press and make 1/4'' holes that my hands could grip to. either that or some drops with a bit of tape. what do you think?

i also want to give wood bars a shot from adam breckman but i dont know how the tensile strength would compare. http://cargocollective.com/workerman#29705/Handlebars

[stuntastic]

Could always go with clear champs. I like the way they look with silver bars. The thin ones, not the thicker champs.

[skeetinmynose]

Get drops. Looks so much classier than those dildo bars. How are those Wolbers so far?

That Ted shred sequence at the end of the Massan vid was crazy! Too bad it was for Leader

[the Repeater]

I know you would hate holes for sure. Laminated wood bars would def be strong enough. Heavier for sure, but def strong (like a hockey stick.)

I would say leather sew on or wood grips if you need something different.

Something though, cause something is important, even if it's just some of that Benotto cello tape or something (which you might like too.)

[zissou]

Drops would look really nice on that bike. I don't think you would be able to drill the holes to make it look good, considering the rounded surface. Plus, it would weaken the bars. I like the velo orange sew on covers, but something about it reminds me of a big soft pretzel.

What messenger bags are you all using. I'm in the market.

vetuv - I think cork or wood grips wood be pretty sweet

great idea with the cork. i did some quick searching but all the grips i could find have a curve to them, to better fit your hand. know of any that are just flat and strait? maybe ill have to make my own. either that or cork tape with a hemp end finish. going for something clean.

[skeetinmynose]

Get cellophane tape or do cloth tape + shellac. Old school.

What messenger bags are you all using. I'm in the market.

right now using a shitty timbuk2 that i got on the cheap, but my favorite bag i've used is either a chrome (so comfy, but everyones got one) or the bailey works (http://www.baileyworks.com/Messenger+Bags/Super+Pro/options)

bailey works is super comfy, not too much money, and really really durable.

[Yardsale]

Timbuk2. the packs are really great.

[(10chars)]

loving my chrome. been using it everyday for years and its still in great condition.

[lestat]

using a Chrome bag, but i want to get something less "technical" and bit more "dressy" like the Brooks Barbican...

[jf30]

i used a bailey works when i used to wear messenger bags, excellent quality. my back and shoulders don't agree with messenger bags anymore so it's backpacks for me - which are miles ahead in comfort.

What are your size needs?

No i dont know of any

[skeetinmynose]

Someone dissuade me from buying this frame. This thing is one of a kind, but the flames are starting to look real ugly to me after giving it some thought. Plus I would have to switch out all my Campy for SSP or Dura-Ace

[kicks79]

I'd repaint it for sure.

What about these leather grips from Brooks?

[aak]

i'd like to see how those grips age after continuous use.

i get that it's a makino frame, but the flames aren't the most appealing to me. i'd personally go with a solid colour and keep the bottom tube decal.

[ndmhxc]

how much is the makino going for? because if youre getting a deal on it, i doubt it would be super expensive to just get the flame powder coated over with that cream color and keep the down tube and top tube logo. because that webbed lugging is so sexy, as are the tube angles!
