When I made the switch from drop bars to Albas, I wanted to leave as much bar space as possible available for hand positions. That meant using reverse brake levers and bar-end shifters mounted on Paul Thumbies located out on the curve.

I have replaced the Albatross bars with porter-style handlebars, with road brake levers mounted out front. Once again, this leaves the most room for my hand positions. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/34156114@N05/9146262436/ Cheers, Tom Matchak Glen, NH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
