Drop bars != "so bent down" (and 50 isn't exactly "older," either, at least not from the perspective of one born during the summer of 1942). Set the bars at a height that's comfortable. For me, that's just at or very slightly below seat height. Back in early May several members of the group attended a Riv Rally in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. Photos taken at the rally are available in the Riv Rally East Flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/1691409@N23/pool/show/ You might find them interesting. Some bikes had drop bars, some flat bars. Nobody felt uncomfortable, and as you can see in the photos, pretty much all the riding positions look very similar, regardless of what kind of bars the bikes had. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
