[RBW] Re: No love for the Albastache?

2021-07-04 Thread Berkeleyan
I'm building up a new bike, custom Riv-inspired frame with RBW fork, and 
have assembled it enough to both pedal and brake. More to do, I need to get 
it shifting and the rear brake cabled, and wiring for lights... but right 
now it's been my first weekend riding it around the neighborhood and 
fiddling with the Albastache bars. It's a tall frame, 66cm, on big tires 
(700x44). I have a relatively short Nitto stem, and am playing with the 
stem height, bars angle, and brake angle and position. I rode for over a 
decade on original M-bars, on my 65 cm LongLow, before swapping to wide 
Noodles. The Albastache bars are better than the M-bars, no question. The 
extra width and the shallower drop are feeling good, I'm liking them a lot, 
everything fits. More to say soon.

 I have a 10 year old or so 60cm sam with albatross and a high high 
 double in the front.  I have recently lowered the front stem to get in a 
 more roadish posture and it seems to balance the weight better front to 
 back for me?

 I bought a 2021 appaloosa 57cm with tosco cliffhanger shikoro.  Haven't 
 received it yet.   I bought the Joe based on loving the length of my 
 brothers MIT 62cm atlantis - also i felt my dad's 63cm homer always felt 
 nice even though it's supposed to be similar geometry to the sam.  

 I am pretty sure would sell the sam but it doesn't seem like i'd get 
 even 1250 or so and my people want me to keep it at that "market value."

 I am a casual rider and do not expect to carry camping gear nor to club 
 ride.  But i would like to cruise up mt diablo (i've never ridden up all 
 the way) would a roadish bike make the goal easier?  I don't know but 
 don't 
 expect so.  Otherwise i am not certain what more bikes would add even 
 though i would buy another if i could find a "reason."

please send PM for interest. Thanks!

interested.
