I currently have Noodles on a 60 cm Sam Hillborne with a 9 cm stem.
They're fine, but I'm a little stretched. I'm on the cusp of a 58 or 60 cm

I've been riding to work since 1996. My round trip commutes have been
between 25 and 55 miles. I'm currently averaging 30 miles but have been

I purchased a Sam Hillborne after an extended test ride at RBW. I've put
close to 7,000 miles on my bike and have yet to duplicate the ride I
experienced on their test bike. I've always had in the back of my mind the
problem was that I bought a Taiwanese model whereas, unbeknownst to me, I

I primarily commute an average of 150 miles a week year round in the
Pacific Northwest. On cold winter mornings at 5:00 AM the last thing I
want is a flat. At first I was disappointed with the Schwalbe Supremes
because I had four flats in the first couple thousand miles. Than, after

I'm contemplating switching Sam from Noodles to Albastache's.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the actual measurements for these
handlebars. What I would like to know is how far behind the neck of the
stem your Albastache's extend. I realize this won't be an exact science

Avery,
Something I did that you may want to consider is converting one of your bar
end shifter sets to stem shifters. That way, when you change handlebars
you don't need to mess with the shifters at all. For example, so far I
have Noodles and a Surly Open Bar for my Hillborne. Each setup h

I was looking forward to a report.

I've always understood that hammering tall gears will, over time, be
detrimental to knee health. Sure, it's fun to blast up the occasional hill

Yesterday I was on some Northern California single track, and with the
unpredictability of recent weather still had my SKS Longboards installed.
