Hi all:
I just came across this amusing post on the Boston Craigslist.

Obviously no relation to the seller. Seems curious at best...

Hi, Bill.
I'm glad the folks at RBW are helping. I'm sure you'll stabilize the
bar unless the stem itself is problematic.
I use Albatross bars with a Dirt Drop 100 with a shim with mo
problems, even on torn-up roads and hoof-beaten trails. Maybe not as
bad as what you've got. But I weigh ~245.
Wow. Glad I went with the DaVinci splitters, then. Though I'd prefer
something other than black.
Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

People seem to love or hate M-bars. They took some getting used to for me, and
getting them up high enough really helped. Now they are my preferred climbing
bars (We do hilly training rides 2x a week April - August). You can get
surprisingly aero on them for fast descents as well.

Yes, a saddle should feel good for a long time. My Berthoud pokes my

This may be blasphemy to some, but you might try to get the saddle
wet, or just damp, and then go for a ride. I have done that

break right in after being ridden wet. Farthest I've gone in a day
