i’m thinking of putting a set of bullhorns on my serotta. it’s got DT shifters and the saddle to bar drop right now is not comfortable with a drop stem and cinelli criterium bars.
i just feel a little bad putting bullhorns on a vintage bike that would seem to deserve drops. any options for shallow classic bend drops?
wondering what the tarck opinion is on this.
risers
bullhorns
Dildos.

This would look dank with a shorter stem:
Bullhorn’s can be ok on road bikes. Risers belong on mountain bikes and that’s it, and that bike above is gross.
only because of the long seatpost and stem. As a compact dude, I lust for what that bike could be.
It’s a mountain bike frame that is being used for commuting, which is fine and good. but I think it is probably just way to small for the owner. but mostly Brifters + bull horns = a bad combo every time.

Are you really one of those guys who runs around calling everything dank? 
bward, I think the tarck opinion is to strip everything off the bike, grind away the derailleur and cable stays. Make that shit a conversion with risers and veep Ds.
well, i don’t really ride in the sort of places where geared plus risers would work. this is for 10-20 mile stuff and hills, or riding to go somewhere. or group ride stuff with slower people, especially like today where i had to fix a bunch of funny noise type problems. i was off my bike as much as i was riding it. has clip and strap pedals not clipless.
and that brifter’d bullhorn bike is awful.
what’s the opinion on aero levers mounted on bullhorns though?
sort of like this but not folp/chops.
No bull horns, no flop n chops. If they’re not gonna be classic drops, I say priests and basket. It’d be like a sleeper townie.
I guess that is probably more functional than the other way, but it’s so jackass that I can’t even deal with it.
i need some suggestions for shallow classic (silver) drops then, or someone who wants a set of 40cm NOS cinelli Crit bars.
I had 021s on my Miyata until I sold it. It was super comfy until I encountered headwinds, then it was a drag.
I think aero levers look stupid on bullhorns.
I think it’s actually a good place to use parts-bin non-aero levers, the cable routing is less obtrusive than traditional non-aero routing, and doesn’t bother me any more looks-wise than bar-end shifter housing (which I’ve grown to like).
But I know a lot of haters want to suck my balls about that.
