Shim

Did you have to use a shim for your e-lever on those swobo bars? what did you use?

Yes there is a shim, it's just a thin peice of aluminium it looks like. I had the shop istall it on the intial build of the bike so I'm not exactly sure what they used, but when I moved the lever it just looked like a thin piece of aluminium to me.

Hope that helps.

....it be listed as "sick ass messenger fixie"? I sure wouldn't besides, rearward facing horizontal drop outs and 120mm chainstays.....sounds like track bike specs to me.

Oh and to pay 10% less than cost from a reputable shop in my bicycling community....totally ripped off.

Thanks and come again.

mircsterus is just thrown off by how incredibly small this bike is. I mean it's tiny. Look, even the bars are "chopped". So small...

Of course it is.

It's no more or less a track bike than any of the dozens of other off-the-peg fixed gear bikes, any of which you can find here on Velospace. It may not be some poser's keirin bike with a 650c front wheel that being used to "freestyle" on, but that doesn't make it any less a track bike.
