Nice rack. I just put a similar Yakima setup on my Civic. The fairing is a neat place for bike stickers. I put on a Vittoria sticker and two Milwauke Bicycle Co stickers before I even installed it on the car.

I ordered online from REI and picked up in store.

Nitto B123A alloy track drops in 39cm I believe.

Still not sure if I'm gonna wrap the whole bars (I have some black fizik bar tape) or use something like a grip on the bottom...

Anybody know what's most common around the track?

Personal preference dude..

I also think it depends on the type of riding you do.
On the track, Track Grips.

I have the exact same Drops as you and I have Champ Track Grips. Love'em..

If you're doing a lot of city riding,
I'd recommend wrapping the full bars or using Cycling Gloves.

A clean sti nonetheless...

I have some white champ grips on them now


I use my fully taped ergo drops for riding most of the time so I can leave the brake lever installed and the cable taped up.

The Eighth Inch Track Drops look so good. The shape on them are so sleek and they look really good with those grips. Thinking of getting them in white or chrome.

Best $15 I have spent

Just take the light mount off until you need it and put the brake lever right at the stem.

Spoiled myself with:
Vittoria wheels
Velocity wheel set
rim tape
Nitto riser bar
Ouri grips
euro-asia 16t cog
dura-ace lock ring
new chrome chain

got me some new oury grips because the all city star grips i had were no bueno for long distance rides. these feel much better.

I like the Oury's too. i just scored a pair. setup looks nice doode..

So I'm done. I got my bike to where im happy with its feel and performance and looks.

Added the O8 Urban Pro risers and Oury grips and its WAY more comfortable.

also bought the speed stand and i love it, makes working on the front end much easier since i dont have a workstand.
