I went with a Bobike since it seemed to give me a bit more clearance, though I think I was mostly concerned with knees. On my 58 Sam there's a little more top tube length to work with, but the front seat precluded standing up on the pedals or getting more than a toe down at stoplights. Definitely improved my trackstanding during that time. As others have mentioned, handlebars matter too: I went with Bosco Bullmoose's, which curve back nicely around (and put the bell within reach!). So far I haven't bothered to execute the original plan of using cable couplers to swap with Noodles, even now that my passenger has moved to a rear seat (Thule). I've gotten good at kicking my foot over the front (easier when dismounting, since my hips are slightly higher when I'm on the seat/standing on the pedals) but a Cheviot would certainly help now!
Another congrats to Tony, and an offer from your neighbor in Alexandria: you're welcome to try mounting my Bobike on your bike(s) and take it for a spin! -J <https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3863/14659269209_0a273e53b5_z.jpg> <https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3905/14380934449_8c74f4ef00_z.jpg> <https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3863/14659269209_0a273e53b5_z.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x6C-v60w_xU/Vg6ZkavoQzI/AAAAAAAAHGU/rck_dRwQt5s/s1600/IMG_6248.JPG> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
