I love it, Deacon. Looks very comfortable. Also love 4 bottle cages! Thanks for posting. Best, Aaron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to r

Thanks, Aaron. You can see the cages with the big water bottles (3) 64oz, (1) 28 oz. in these two posts. https://deaconpatrick.org/three-days-three-states-three-countries-by-beorn-the-bikepacking-wonder and https://deaconpatrick.org/two-midsummer-nights-dream-bikepacking-pikes-peak With abandon,

Hey DP. I agree with you about parallel-ish bars being not-great on technical descents. I mean, with the exception of dirt drops, but that's a whole other can of worms. For those that prefer a swept back bar, but still require a confidence-inspiring descending position, what about running Bosco

Too narrow, too far forward, too low for me. You'd lose the sweet spot of upright riding. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 5:56:57 AM UTC-6, Jesse wrote: > > Hey DP. I agree with you about parallel-ish bars being not-great on > technical descents. I mean, with the exception of

I’m quite confused about the handlebar set up with my Gus Boots WILLsen. How would waivie bars with the nitto v4 work. I like a little forward lean as to not have too much weight on the saddle. Tough decisions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW O

I've got some HUGE albatross bars (66cm wide) custom bent by Blacksheep Cycles (James) The wide-ness proved to stabilize nicely on faster/rocky descents and I plan on using a Nitto V-4/quill adapter for my Susie Wolbis. There was a quill bull moose stem in the works but it sadly got scrapped

Hello Patrick, Bike and photos looks amazing. Gus has a Threadless headset? What hard piece of wood saddle do you have on there? And where are you anyway? Looks beautiful. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubsc

+1 on the Cigne stem and production bars custom bent by Blacksheep. I have a Cigne stem on my Super Grizzly paired to Thomson titanium bars custom bent by James. The combination is so comfortable. On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 8:22:42 AM UTC-6, ☆ Pau

Meant to add that I used a Wavie on my XL using that stem and it's working out well for me. On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 12:17:14 PM UTC-4, Andrew Nussbaum wrote: > > +1 on the Cigne stem and production bars custom bent by Blacksheep. I have > a Cigne stem on my Super Grizzly >

Hey Paul. Aye, at least my prototype has a threadless headset, which I think remains true of the production frame. My saddle is a Berthoud. I live on Pikes Peak. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 8:22:42 AM UTC-6, ☆ Paul ☆ wrote: > > Hello Patrick, > > Bike and photos looks amaz

John, what model Teravail on your Gus, and how do you like? I am looking at Honcho 2.6" for my upcoming L Susie. On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 12:59:48 PM UTC-4, John Philip wrote: > > > > On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 10:02:09 AM UTC-4, Bill Fulford wrote: >> >> I’m quite confused about the handleba

Those are Coronados. The bike's only been built a couple of days so not enough miles and varied conditions as yet to really tell, but in the unusually dry conditions we have had lately they roll and grip well. On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 3:04:47 PM UTC-4, Mark Roland wrote: > > John, what model T

[RBW] Re: Gus is a sit-up guy and his neck flows like a swan now

I totally agree that a more moderate sweep and short reach is much better for off-road control than Bosco type bars - I am LOVING the look of your GBW here! If i were just a foot taller, i'd love to ride that rig! > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[RBW] Re: Gus is a sit-up guy and his neck flows like a swan now

Wider Albatross bars ... now there's a good idea ! One with the larger radius bend like the original 56cm steel ones. I assume Blacksheep does custom bars ? I looked around his website but didn't see any info about it. Well, I tried to navigate the website but it's pretty messed up. (On a si

Now now, Garth, I thought you were totally and Buddhistically in tune with the flow of things. Tsk tsk. Actually, good on you, man, for getting irritated at stupid things. Snapping at fools is what old fashioned Catholics used to call a spiritual work of mercy. + 1 for the Surly open bar -- I use
