Beautiful set up, that frame looks brand new. The Bleriot has special
place in my heart as it is the bike I found some place on the web years ago
that eventually led me to the Riv site and started my conversion from a guy

I definitely concur with Bruce on the tire evaluation. On my Bleriot, I've ridden Col de la Vies, Maxy Fasty's and Hetres. I definitely prefer the Hetres. Maxy Fasty's would be second choice. Col de la Vie's would be a (distant) third. (Bruce doesn't mention Hetres...)JoanOn 12/25/13, Bruce

Patricia, my wife, really likes the Alba bars on the tandem so I am wanting
to convert her '83 Sequoia to Albatros bars. I bought the bars, stem,
Shimano brake levers and Paul's thumbies from RBW, and a set of Microshift

Here's my setup:http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/10597199104/
Putting the shifters toward the middle of the bars leaves the whole bar
through the front curve available for hand positions. Having the shifters
immediately in front of the brake levers really inter fears with that.
Patrick, that is a nice setup! I may have to give that a try after I play
around with the Alba's on my Atlantis for a little while.
Thanks for sharing!

There is nothing quite like mile 70 (or hour 7 on a trail ride) to reveal
the weak points in your setup, be it saddle position, bar tilt, shifter

Thanks, Tony. Oh, I should mention that I tried putting them on the stem,
but the reach was too far for technical trail descents or in traffic,
making shifting a real challenge. The only thing I haven't tried is bar end

Eric,
I hated buying GB Cerfs for $60, but they are so good on my Roadeo. Also,
they last a long time for a high performance tire. I have to believe that
the Hetres have to make a big difference over the lower end tires that you
have tried. Hope you enjoy the Hetres.

Bar end brake levers give you a completely free bar from your shifters to
the end . I tried mtb levers at first, and it just seemed awkward to me
and a waste of hand space. The Bar end levers to me are a marriage made in
heaven for Alba type bars !! And being reversed I find it even
I've wondered why more people don't use them, I think many don't even know
bar end brake levers exist, let alone how wonderful it is to not have to
negotiate mtb lever mounts where your hands can be !

Garth, I'd never really considered bar end brake levers with Alba's... Your
description is compelling though! Between the brake and shifter locations
you describe you really preserve the max amount of the bar for hand
positions.

I don't think they are billed as a trail tire, honestly. Lets face it,

I started off with Col de la Vies on my Bleriot and thought they were fine
( a little soft and cushy), however, I switched to Marathons a few years
back and...gasp...I think they are faster and have a better ride. Plus side
is that they are bombproof. I just replaced the rear after 3.5 years
I was looking at the force field rumpkins for some rocky trails out here
but they would only be for a ride or two a month. What I really need is
two sets of wheels so I don't have to change the tires out depending on the

That's a slippery slope my friend multiple wheel sets, but I'm right there

What's almost as bad as having them get stuck on there is to have them

On Velocity and other peaked rims I use a rubber grommet between the rim and
