Nice bike...and your bars look comfy to me. When I had drop bars
on that's how I set mine up and simply used the drop portion when I
felt the need to "go aero". Right now I use upside down Albatross bars

too. I usually use

Thanks Patrick - I have another similar fixed/free bike - currently in
re-hab due to the car-port incident, so that lead me to this version.
The bars may look high, but they feel great to me on top or in the
drops. I probably spend more time on the hoods than anywhere else, but
I'm liking the feel
Very nice, but, with those long horizontals, and lack of dt shifter braze
ons, it ought to be a fixed gear.
You say the decals came from Rivendell: how did that work?

All fitting systems have an underlying bias for a supposed standard
riding position and are therefore useful only for cyclists who prefer
that position. In terms of bar height, having the bars level with the

It was fun! I will say those "over the paint" decals from Rivendell
were the best I've ever used and it seems like they are on to stay.
