[RBW] Re: New Handlebar Suggestions

I would argue that Albastache isn't an upright/swept back bar as the OP specified, it's a dropbar with the curves lifted up so the low position is gone. Not that there's anything wrong with that!  On Sunday, February 12, 2023 at 7:56:38 PM UTC-8 Johnny Alien wrote: > Albastache is the perfect

Hi John S Erik Billings who did the braze-on mods and other frame stuff, I asked him to make a rigid longer drop cable hanger. It is chro-mo tubing, probably seat stay tube with a 6 mm barrel braze-on. Erik made two of them, one went to someone on the i-bob, 650b, or Riv list. Powder coated

Hi Garth, I just want to say that with the pedal extensions I felt very confident in standing up and out of my saddle while riding, because of the more of the surface area on the pedals. Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA On Sunday, February 12, 2023 at 5:13:32 PM UTC-8 Kim Hetzel wrote: > H Garth, > >

[RBW] Re: New Handlebar Suggestions

I'm 73 with the usual back irritations that come with age. I have Map Ahearne bars on 2 bikes. I'd used an upright bar that only had a slight backsweep, & wanted bars with more sweep. I tried Riv's Albatross (highly recommended by many) but they had a bit too much for my taste. I then tried

[RBW] Re: New Handlebar Suggestions

I'm a rotten resource for anything to do with near vertical posture riding as it's not my thing. But for leaning forward at say 45 degrees+/- and lower, head well up and have some extra reach back, to me the perfect bar is the Albatross on steel with bar end brake levers and thumbshifters

[RBW] Re: New Handlebar Suggestions

Hi Bob, Because everyone's different, this will be a trial and error process, but in my opinion the Ahearne + Map handlebar is a great starting point. From there, you can decide whether you need more or less sweep, or any rise.

[RBW] Re: New Handlebar Suggestions

Billies are great for all the room they have from the ends up to the curves. Bosco and Tosco have a long flat section up front for a good aero position. The most important part is to get a really dang long stem to get the bars forward on a bike that was running drops, the reachback is going to

Eric – French rando with or without fenders and perhaps 42mm tires or so. Downtube shifters with a Berthoud saddle or Brooks (I have an extra B17 after all). No dynamo but leaning towards Atlas or Pacenti rims with polished or frosted hubs (no need for anything horribly expensive here).

[RBW] New Handlebar Suggestions

I'm contemplating moving my Sam Hillborne from dropbar Noodles to some kind of upright/swept back handlebar, and to be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed by the various options. By way of background, all I have ever know are dropbar handlebars; but at 60, I'm thinking the sweptback/upright might
