[RBW] Re: Albatross Bars and stem size

[Jake Freeland]

I have used Albatross as follows -- 

110mm Tallux on a XL Crust Lightning Bolt with bar end shifter.
85mm FacePlater on a 59 Atlantis with shifter mounted to the stem. 
Both stems felt right for the specific bike. You may end up having to buy 
twice. Keep the other stem around for future projects!

In an email from 25 Feb 2022, Will recommends starting stem length for 
Albatross handlebars at 10cm. 

"Here are some starting points for Tallux stem lengths on our Allrounders 
and Country bikes - if you're getting a Hillbike, decrease a centimeter; if 
you're getting a road Riv, increase a centimeter. This is assuming normal 
leg/torso proportions.
   
   - Albatross bars - 10cm"

I live in SE.MI. Bit of a hike to get out that way, but sounds like fun. I 
will keep my eyes open for the next one.

 Ok so if I'm following this correctly you stayed in one gear in 
 singlespeed solidarity with Ben for most of the ride..and he was shifting! 
 I love this story! 😁
