The mitten clearance: if my hands are in position just forward of the brake levers, resting almost at the bend, the brake cable passes fairly close to the bar between the first and second bend. Not a problem with bare hands but with thick mittens you've gotta kind of work to slot them in between the cable and bar. Not a big deal and strictly a winter issue.
On sprung seats: have considered it but nothing more. I'm using a men's B17 with a Paul seatpost, so I can make fine adjustments to tilt. Good to hear stories of upright bars bringing joy back to stiff-necks like us! Again, the wideness of the 58's feeling great is a surprise given my stature. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
