I have mustache bars on my Surly Cross Check, and love them. I mostly
use this bike for commuting and other shorter rides, and find that the
bars give lots of control in terms of maneuverability and braking.
And Bruce is right, they are great for climbing. I've used this bike

Think that is just dirt. But even if it is scratched, the Bomb is one

Hey Bruce -
Glad to hear you found the sweet spot on that Nashbar. It really has
a nice feel. What tires were you using?

Probably the Bombadil with either Albatross or Bullmoose. If going

Why do you assume that everyone around him tried to convince him to

Plenty of carbon forks survived the cobbles just fine. I suspect he
