I look at the Alba/Moustache/Noodle as a range of bars for a range of positions.
My Alba bike is a Kogswell P/R with fenders and a front basket for commuting and trips to the market. Although I can use the front of the bar to get more aero, it is only for brief periods, and mostly I'm sitting upright with my hands on the end of the bar. Trips are always under an hour. My 'stache touring bike is an Atlantis wanna-be (1985 steel trek MTB, 650b) that has bar end shifters, and I like to be forward for when I'm on gravel and single track with loaded panniers. I can sit up, relatively, for short periods of time with my hands on the ends of the bars, but is isn't as comfortable as the Alba bars. Woodchipper bars are another version that fit into this category. My Ram, and QB have drop bars, Noodles, as they are road/ bike path bikes, and anything longer than 2 hours I need multiple hand positions. I'm also riding at higher speeds, and being aero is more important than when I'm touring or going to work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
