[RBW] How upright can you get with Alba's/stem combo?

2013-05-11 Thread bobish 
Not a riv but close enough? I just converted a garage sale find trek 520 to 
a-bars (all my bikes have a-bars!). It's pretty damned upright.

Bolt upright? Well, yeah. I tried it with the original stem and the a-bar (I 
refuse to call it an alba) was a bit low. I used a dirt drop stem because I had 
it on hand but for aesthetics, I'd prefer an L-shaped nitto stem that comes up 
pretty high. The bar position should be roughly he same. My advice for all 
interested in more upright position is:

- go for it!
- start with wide saddle
- go for as upright as humanly possible and work your way back until you hit 
your sweet spot

Enjoy!

I wouldn't say bolt upright.  The Boscos are better for that, if that's your 
goal.
