Justin, I was also thinking guidonnet levers would be good on the Choco bar. As luck would have it, I've just traded a Bosco bar for a mustache bar, so I'm going to give them a try. Should they not work out, then I would like to give the Choco bar a try. JohnS On Monday, February 1, 2016 at

I was thinking that these with barcons, guidonnet levers and full tape wrap to the stem would be a fantastic looking cockpit. If only I had a second bike to do that on. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

I think in the Reader Grant was addressing me directly when he wrote something like "Choco bars are great but too similar to the Albatross to replace Albas with Choco." Good for my bank account. On a side note, my iPhone wants to autocorrect Choco with Chico. Is that what all the bike riders

I'm really tempted to add some to my 650B Protovelo, which sports Albatross bars now. These are like wide porteur bars - really nice looking. Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Monday, February 1, 2016 at 5:11:25 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb3b.htm >

I have been interested in the Choco, but I am currently riding the wide Bosco's on my Clementine, I tried another Clementine RTR, it had the narrower Bosco's and I did not like it nearly as much! While I like'em 58 maybe is a little wide, but 54 is too narrow. 55 is better, but 56 might be

" I have Alba's in aluminum & chromo & honestly I prefer the chromo ones!" What do you prefer about the chromo (sic) Albatross over the aluminum Albatross? Do you prefer that they are less expensive? Do you prefer the looks? Something else? I've got cromoly Albatross bars on one bike and

I've been curious to see what the width would be like. 55cm is certainly generous, along the lines of the Albatross, but my tastes have been trending towards the crazy wide these days, so I think I'll hold off for now. If they come out with a 58cm version or better yet a 60+cm one, I might
