Haven't used either but I can vouch for the abundance of possible hand
positions on the Albatross or Choco, which are somewhat similar to the
Billie (maybe slightly more aero due to less "outsweep"?). Prefer the
Albatross which is currently on my early 90s Miyata mtb: 32t up front and

Indeed, I have a 10-speed cassette with very low use I'll sell cheap. I think

There are still enough old timers around to put that together, I’m sure. What

to scrape the money together and get one sooner rather than later. Models come
