Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

[Jared Wilson]

The width was my largest reservation, but I rolled the dice and we'll see 
how it goes.

Glad to hear they're well received otherwise, looking forward to getting 
them on the new XL, been missing a Susie in my life for too long now.

[Grady Wright]

I built my Appaloosa with JJJ bars. I like them a lot; however, I agree 
with Larson.photo33 slightly wider would be desirable to me. My handlebar 
wishes are very similar to yours and the JJJ is the closest I have found 
that fit the bill, and I will be happy using them until something same but 
wider comes along.

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

[larson....@gmail.com]

I put Sycip JJJ bars on my Black Mountain Cycles monstercross bike last 
year to convert the bike from drop bars, and have liked them very much. The 
sweep is right for me and I am able to get a second hand position on the 
curves, which I use often. They are close, but not quite perfect. I think 
if I was getting a custom Doom bar I would base it on the JJJ bar, but 
wider (about 710mm) with just a little more rise. I am building up a Joe 
Appaloosa as my first Rivendell and am going to give Billie bars a try. If 
this doesn’t work I will probably get the custom Doom bars based on the JJJ.

Dave, It is really going to be a case of getting our hands on the bikes and 
trying stuff out! Im pretty keen to try this Wright stem/Jones bar combo 
but if it doesn't work I'll happily use a Billie or maybe even score a Rons 
Back Bar in the next batch (in 18 months, lol).

Eric, That JB bar has also been on my radar, it has a unique aesthetic. 
Unfortunately it is cromo and I'm not sure I'd enjoy the very short main 
grip area in actual use. It would fun to try nonetheless.

Brendon – The JB Bar 
 also looks nice in 
case you missed it.

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

[Davey Struthers]

I'm also in this boat, 5'8 long inseam went for the large because I wanted
29 wheels.
I have a crust bj stem 31.8 30mm that I'm thinking might work with
tumbleweed bars I have, could be too short though. I'd also like the crust
ui stem or any of the analog options, I'm also just guessing what the reach
might be,  assuming that it will be loong for me!
I do like the look of the more traditional riv hilli builds (mostly gus's)
on insta with tosco bullmoose but also the newer builds with short stems
and less sweep bars, so I'm torn and too excited to just wait to sit on it
and see!
Hopefully faceplater stems are magically in stock when the frames arrive!

Cheers
Dave

[Dee Dee]

Oops, just realized I never even pasted the link to the stem, sorry about
that! Glad it will work for you, post pics when you get that Susie built up.
