John, I just have a different perspective than you regarding the Bosco's I think they look quirky in profile, where as the Alba's have an esthetically pleasing swooping curved shape.
I rode a 84' Stumpjumper with Bosco's and I really couldn't stand the ride or look. Perhaps on a different bike I'd appreciate them. Those images of your Alba Sam are gorgeous and required I pop another Zolof. Warm Regards, ~Hugh I had a set of Albas once. I only bar-taped them in the grips because that creamy, blingy, nickel looking metal sheen was just so beautiful on the bars. I didn't want to cover the finish up. Honestly, I have never ridden Bosco's. But I keep wanting to put a set on my Hillborne as it is the best bike of my two (other is a Bleriot) to make an upright bike out of. I'd like a bike for riding with the wife. She rides about 10mph average speeds and I mostly coast on my drops when I ride with her so the pressure on the hands and feet and butt are apparent when we ride together on her commutes. I think it would be fun to coast along with her while sitting bolt upright on Boscos on my Sam. I also think Boscos look nicer from the side of the bike than Albas. Just for fun, here are shots of my Hillborne when it had the Albas on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
