Re: [RBW] Re: Separation anxiety at an all time high!!

[masmojo]

I got a Bosco not being used, but both sets of Albas are mounted on bikes.  You 
know honestly the aluminum ones are fractionally lighter, but I like my steel 
ones better.

Hey Chris, I stopped in at Rob's place on Saturday.  He was working on 
switching out the drop bars on his Rambler with a set of Alba's.

Hope all is well with you in TX.  Sounds like you've had your share of 
weather lately.

Hi David,

Doug and Noel have a wonderful back bay ride around Newport...I really need
to get one of these rides on the books.

You're in the loop.

Re: [RBW] Re: Separation anxiety at an all time high!!

[Hugh Smitham]

John,

I just have a different perspective than you regarding the Bosco's I think
they look quirky in profile, where as the Alba's have an esthetically
pleasing swooping curved shape.

I rode a 84' Stumpjumper with Bosco's and I really couldn't stand the ride
or look. Perhaps on a different bike I'd appreciate them.

Those images of your Alba Sam are gorgeous and required I pop another
Zolof.

Warm Regards,

~Hugh
I had a set of Albas once. I only bar-taped them in the grips because that
creamy, blingy, nickel looking metal sheen was just so beautiful on the
bars. I didn't want to cover the finish up.

Honestly, I have never ridden Bosco's. But I keep wanting to put a set on
my Hillborne as it is the best bike of my two (other is a Bleriot) to make
an upright bike out of. I'd like a bike for riding with the wife. She rides
about 10mph average speeds and I mostly coast on my drops when I ride with
her so the pressure on the hands and feet and butt are apparent when we
ride together on her commutes. I think it would be fun to coast along with
her while sitting bolt upright on Boscos on my Sam.

I also think Boscos look nicer from the side of the bike than Albas.

Just for fun, here are shots of my Hillborne when it had the Albas on it.

Chris,

Glad you like the flavor of the post...

...this really is serious and your Alba bloggery is making it so much
worse!! Thanks for that Chris. And you had to mention all three of yours
are in service ;)

Cheeky Warm Regards,

~Hugh "Zoloft" Smitham
Hugh,

This has got to be "post of the day" :)

I'd love to be able to help, but all three of my alba bars are installed
and in use on my bikes.

Someone help this guy out.  Alba separation is serious stuff.

Re: [RBW] Re: Separation anxiety at an all time high!!

Estaban,

Now that's a great idea. An Albatross ride.  I think fittingly near the
ocean at a leisurely pace will do. My Hilsen has never had the pleasure of
these bars, the time has come.

John,

I honestly like the Albatross bars and know my mental state will be
relieved once I have a set. I have a set in my Riv cart in a holding
pattern waiting...

I like where you're going with the Bosco's

Albatross FTW. Always nice to have a set to swap in - changes the ride more 
than any other bar and produce fun fun fun. My 2x10 Hunquapillar will begin 
with an Alba set - probably going to stay that way, although the bullmoose 
beacon... let's ride Albatross in So Call when a pair comes your way.
