[RBW] For the love of Albas
Converted for good? Rachel likes hers so far, and I guess I'll have to see how I feel about noodles vs albas and try both for myself. As for now, the noodles are on order with the SH frame! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] For the love of Albas
I think I am converted for good, but I also think bars are a very body specific/riding style specific choice Our friends at Riv patiently (very patiently!) worked with me through many iterations of Noodlles and M-bars. How wide, how high... I even had to try the Bull Moose. Once I had ridden Albas I have never been happy with other bars. I really wanted to put Noodles on my Hunqapillar - they looked so good in the pictures... but they felt so bad compared to the Albas. I did almost the same thing with my MB3s, I liked the look of the M-bars, but once I tried the Albas I couldn't ride them. I have not tried the Boscoes or Albastache bars, but they seem to be variations on the Alba theme. I suspect I would like them. Other folks seem to be equally passionate about drops. Grant wrote an excellent essay on handlebar variations in a early 90s B-stone catalog, and I think the good news is that his influence has helped us out of the dark ages of just drops and straight bars. Options are good. On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 1:40 PM, Avery Wilson avewil...@gmail.com wrote: Converted for good?
