I'm coming around to the idea that drops can be set up to wildly more upright than what common knowledge would have you believe so that you can still get the same assortment of positions but with a more Bosco-like neutral position. To do this you can run something like this stem [https://www.crustbikes.com/products/nitto-26-0-bj-stem/] on a modern Riv, and I'd run 48cm Noodles for the nice width and their well proven ergonomics.
That said, I vastly prefer upright bar brake levers for better power and control - drop bar levers are just at a terrible angle, even modern ergo levers. I've never tried Boscos - my instincts were that they'd be too "land yacht" feeling for me but I'm starting to wonder if they don't make more sense than I give them credit. Albatross are hard to beat though. My Noodle-to-Albatross conversion ratio is a 6cm longer stem on the latter (ie 5cm stem for the Noodles and a 11cm stem for the Albatross on my Sam) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
