this is maybe one instance where trying it out might have been a great idea
when I ordered my mixte I originally thought moustache or albastache. Grant said I might like Bosco but I wasn't sold on them - too high and too wide and then we went with Choco-norm bars flipped down and Mark did have to tweak things a little (chop bars and 12 or 13cm stem instead of reg 8 or 9 cm stem) and they did offer to swap cockpits for shipping for the 1st 6 months...one of their swaps was an albatross if I wanted. BTW no complaint about RBW customer service here...not making this about that Just want to get that beautiful custom dialed in to my riding style while I'm still stylin :) On Tuesday, November 21, 2017 at 12:51:54 PM UTC-6, Les Lammers wrote: > > Ryan, > > FWIW, I've had a hard time getting the bars 'right' for me on my Cheviot. > *I* never could get comfortable with the Choco Norm bar.
