Retro Cycling Vintage

Sun Ringle have been making off road components for discerning mtb riders since the late 80's / early 90s. Known for their exotic bulletproof smooth running components the only drawback was their higher cost than the cheaper more widely available Shimano kit available at the time.

Although most of these wheels aren't strictly speaking 'retro' the fact that they are made by a company firmly rooted in quality production techniques to such a high standard makes them worthy of inclusion on this website.

With the recent appreciation of fixed gear 'fixie' bicycles various handlebar designs have come back into regular use. As well as the classic Pista track shape riders are adopting cut down straight bars and retro style lo profile bullhorn handlebars. Originally made popular during the 1980s on time trial bikes pre triathlon bars they never really went out of fashion. Their stylish looks and lightweight make them popular with both time trialers and fixie riders. Offering 3 different hand positions (plus another on the hoods depeneding on how you run your braking setup) they are extremely comfortable.

Bullhorn handlebars are also a good option if you are running a frame that is too short for you and want a more stretched out position when you combine them with a longer stem

Campagnolo disc wheels have been popular with time trial and track riders since the 1980s. Looking back at the photos from classic era Tours at that time you'll see riders of the day such as Fignon, Delgado, Roche and Indurain riding early Campagnolo disc wheels. With their stiff construction and aerodynamic properties they give an instant advantage as soon as they are put on your bike.

Remember to use caution when riding in crosswinds with Campagnolo disc wheels and dont use a track front disc on the open road as the crosswinds can seriously affect steering.

Spinergy wheels have been around since the early 90s and continue to outperform many other types of wheels in terms of acceleration and aerodynamics. Their RevX wheel was one of the most distinctive bicycle road and triathlon wheels ever made at a time when common thought recommended a disc wheel at the back and an aerospoke or trispoke at the front. With a pair of Spinergy RevX wheels a bike could be ridden fast in a cross wind and in a bunch quite safely.

Whereas Aerospoke wheels are currently as rare as hen's teeth there are a few Spinergy wheels around at the moment if you know where to track one down. They look great on Fixies, as either a front or as a pair and they still perform well in triathlons and time trials providing a cost effective way of getting a serious aero advantage over your rivals. And more importantly of all they look GOOD!
