I have both bars. The Jitensha are great - and look great as well. They are less versatile than the Albatross. They need to be paired to the correct bike. If they are, you will be very happy with them. True, they do not have as many possible grip points as drops or swept back such as the Albatross. But (again highly dependent on being matched with the right bike) they put your hands at a very good riding position, similar to riding with your hands on the brake hoods with drops. The Albatross are also great looking bars. You can use them in a lot of different situations. You can set them up straight back. Tilt them down. Flip them. Of course if you are into bar end shifters Albas fit them. Hope this helps. On Aug 29, 3:19 pm, David Sprunger <sprun...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi.
