[RBW] Re: Help identifying Nitto Albatross Material

2015-03-07 Thread 'frank_a' via RBW Owners Bunch
 The aluminum model has a red circular sticker near the clamp area that 
reads heat treated, although perhaps that is missing from yours. The 
aluminum model is rather light and has a brighter finish than the chromoly 
which has more of a soft, satin finish.
 I concur with Joe B, the aluminum bar has hash marks at the clamping area, 
although they seem to disappear quickly if you change out the bars a few 
times.
 All of the Nitto/Rivendell albatross bars I have owned have a model number 
and a width designation at the end or ends of the bar.

 I have a Nitto Albatross Handlebar that I purchased quite a few years ago 
 and I can't seem to remember if I bought the cromo or alu model. 

 The only marking says NITTO I-Z.  I measured the width at 23 which is 
 58cm. Is there any way they are NOT the alu version? I plan to sell them 
 and I do not want to list them incorrectly.

 thanks!

Are there black hash marks in the clamping area? My vague recollection is 
the alu version has them, the steel does not.
