I wondered if that linkd to the A-bars would work ... Here's a few pics of the updside down Albatross on the Bleriot, once they were shellac'd: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/3456027280/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/3456027020/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/3455209745/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/3455208937/ ... and here's a top view -- you can see how similar they are to the Albastache: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/3455206329/ ... only they 'droop' more like a mustache than an albastache: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/3439891761/ Here's the Trek conversion: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/8205387060/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/8500252939/ ... and the Hetre clearance on the 1988 Trek 330 frame: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/7768936210/ Which was sold to fund this beauty, which will be getting albas (just not sure if 'staches or 'trosses): http://www.flickr.com/photos/sea-fisherman/9278896578/) Cheers, Chris Tucson, AZ (soon)
