Jim, I saw a pair of Nitto rando bars on an old Trek the other day, and I'd say the VO bars are almost a different kind of bar than the Nitto, too. As you say, the tops are narrow—a centimeter or so narrower than Grand Bois, if my take on the measurements is correct—and the ramps and reach are extra long. The flare is wider, too. The flare and the long drop extensions I like; the reach, not as much as I get older. > I think Nitto makes some sort of "Rando" bar also, not sure what the model > number is though. > I believe—though Patrick (de Nouvelle Mexique, pas le diacre) will know better—that the Nitto rando bar is the B 135. -- Bob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
