Hi Mike,
A tour to mark ten years is an excellent plan :)I'd love to see some
pics of your Curt Goodrich A/R. About the ST decal, yes it's an option,
you can request wrap-around or diamond style.They even have different
outline colors to choose from.

I don't know about lugged bars, but I do wish Rivendell would come out with
some chromoly Noodle bars. Maybe just two sizes: 42 and 46cm.That
would be sweet.And chromoly cranks too :D

The bars look great. Thanks for posting the pictures. I think the fact that

A while back Grant mentioned steel bars as a possible new product. Not

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting to see that a person who rides so much has such a different
setup than the current marketing zeitgeist dictates. Puts things in
perspective.
Do you know what kind of saddle that is? Must be great to work
I need to go low.
So just about any 1 quill shorter than 190 would work actually. My 225

Astoria:
Thanks for the great ideas.
I looked into the Rando bars NITTO makes, and although they are a narrower
bar than Noodles, the reach is longer at 110, and I think the Noodles are
95mm.
I'll have to recheck. I know one of them is 110.

Looking at getting either the Nitto R14 or R15 for my soon to be built

the extra versatility- able to mount panniers- but was wondering if anyone had

The top of the two are pretty much the same but the R-15 does have the sides.
They don't extend as far down as the full Nitto Campee rear or a Tubus but they
are useful for panniers. They are perfect for the small Berthoud rear panniers.
And useful if you have a load that drapes over the top.
