[RBW] one more time: Albatross and Moustache
I want to try Albatross on my commuter. Once upon a time I did a trial run with Moustache bars and was not so pleased...just preferred drop bar hand positions more. Regardless, when I set up the M bars, they were done to be in a riding position similar to my fit with riding on the hoods and tops of drop bars. Wondering those of you use and like A bars, do you tend to set them more in a bus driver's steering position ie so your back is more vertical or do you tend to position them further down ie even or below the saddle so you are in a more leaned-forward and aero form? I am not talking so much about angle of the grips as height at the stem clamp. Hopefully, my question makes sense...and I know this will involve some trial and error. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

not related to moderating, but it seems to be a google funkie, you may not see your post until after you've refreshed the page a couple of times. I think google prefers to grab the cached page rather than reload it.

It's also a fact that chains like that aren't meant to be broken in the old fashion, and any push-the-pin-in-and-out solution is strictly a temporary fix. It's just that nobody ever said how long temporary was -- and it turned out to be a lot shorter than I expected! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Is that photo-documentation of Steve Palinscar smiling?
No, it's me, not my evil twin PalinSCar. He never smiles.
Or is his balaclava just smooshing the sides of his face upwards?
The balaclava I'm wearing is so old and worn from use it's no longer is
capable of smooshing anything. It's taken years to get it this
comfortable.
I got a new one a couple of years ago, but it's so tight I can't wear my
sunglasses when I have it on, so it stays unworn in the bike box.
I had Steve pegged as one of those 19th century souls who prefers not
to smile for the camera.
Actually, those 19th century souls were holding still for very long
exposures (20 seconds to 5 minutes). The neck braces that held their
heads still were artfully concealed in the photos. Those collodion wet
plates had an ISO speed of 6 - 10, and Daguerreotype was even slower.
