[RBW] Re: Billie Bars?

I went from albatross to billies on my 60cm chev and now that I’ve ridden it for a couple months (road/path) have to say I prefer the roominess of the billies, and also the more angled hand position when back on the grips. The billies put your hand/wrist less thumb-forward than the albas which
