The mustache affords a surprisingly aero position when laying flat on it as well. It's easy to get over 40 mph on a downhill with mustahce bars around here. Actually easier than on my noodle equipped bikes. The posture takes little time to get used to. There's a picture of a racer doing just this in a Bridgestone catalog. I can't remember where i saw it. I think the rider in that photo later worked/still works? at RBW.

I've had a moustache bar on my Heron Touring since I bought it, which was 1997 or 1998, and I've loved it. Primarily I ride this bike to commute to work or for shopping. It's an intown bike that I usually ride twenty or fewer miles on an outing. I've also put fatter tires on it and ridden fire roads and single track. I love the bar on this bike, it is perfect. So perfect that I've tried the moustache on other road bikes and could not make it work. I never could decide what it was about the set up on the other bikes that was wrong. I tried to get the handlebar and saddle positions the same, but still it didn't work. It just did not seem balanced. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
