Both VO and Soma have a few bars that are albatross like, but
narrower. Actually, so does Riv, the Dove Bar -- classic 3 speed

I'm fairly new to following this list and haven't posted before. I've
owned an Atlantis for about 10 months - love it! - and use it daily on
a 30 mile round-trip commute. I've taken it on a couple of short

I dont like being on non-drop bars for more than 30 miles or so, personally.
I did run a Jitensha bar for a little while...but they also hurt from the

Shipping prices are to CONUS via either USPS priority mail or parcel post.

I think/hope the prices are pretty fair

It's probably more socially acceptable to wear knickers on the left

When doing bars, you would only really need to do the small bit of
area that is showing between the bar tape. Maybe 60mm or so, so that
makes it easier...
