[RBW] Re: Seeking Comments: Mark's Bar vs. Noodle Bar
I have the same Cinelli bar, which hasn't been used in a few years, but I just reinstalled it on my Trek 626. My impression is much like Patricks. I ride at the back of the drops a lot and that bar is quite good for that. On the other hand they feel tight when I move my largish hands into the hook. But all in all a pretty good bar, but there is a reason so many of us have migrated over to noodles. Most comfortable for long rides. michael On Feb 8, 10:20 pm, PATRICK MOORE wrote: > I can't speak about the Noodle, but the Mark's IIRC is very like the old > Nitto 185 which in turn is like the old Cinelli model whose # I forget: > medium drop (140 or 145 mm), very short reach (90, IIRC), very short ramps. > I use the 185s on 3 bikes and like them a lot, tho' I might switch to even > shallower (135 mm drop) but longer (115?) old Maes copies that BQ now sells. > The downside of the 185s, for me, is that, if you have the ends parallel to > terra firma, as God commanded, then the ramps are rather steep.

Curious: can you say exactly why? I also prefer the 185 shape, but only on bikes with bars 4 or 5 cm below saddle.

I switched from Noodles to Mark's on two bikes. I prefer the Mark's.
