I love my Quickbeam. I've been riding it as a daily commuter in San Francisco since I bought it last fall, with some weekend trips across the bridge and into Marin. The Beam came set-up with noodle bars, which I really like. For most of my riding, though, which involves tearing around the city and hauling groceries, I found myself wanting to try out a more upright position.
Enter the Jitensha bars... I loved the Quickbeam before, yeah, but the new bars have taken it to another level altogether. Upright, but still fast feeling with incredible control, even with a loaded front basket. There far enough out that I can still get decent leverage when climbing out of the saddle. Anyway, if you're considering going a little swept back and upright, but don't want to go as far as the albatross bars, I highly recommend giving the Jitensha's a shot. Here're a couple of shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gogglz/4483314830/in/set-72157623750965348/ isaac -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
