Awesome thread! Here's my Alba'ed, 64cm LHT, currently my "road" bike...don't really miss drop bars at all. https://www.flickr.com/photos/85709120@N07/10412426826/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/85709120@N07/13003918814/ On Thursday, February 6, 2014 3:42:55 PM UTC-8, Conway Bennett wrote: > >

That's a great looking set up, Kevin! You have your brakes forward like I've figured out I like mine on the Albas, allowing for braking either in the flats or the upper/outer curves. With abandon, Patrick On Wednesday, March 26, 2014 10:47:21 PM UTC-6, Kevin Mulcahy wrote: > > > On my VO Passhu
