my email doesn't seem to be getting through to Erl and I'm hoping this

If memory serves CoMotion did the final bike w/ tandem tubes for that bike.
This crown could be used on multiple projects, but would make a lot of
sense for both a rough stuff tall bike a tandem. I suppose we'll have to

Dear Joe,
Check the reach of the bars. The noodles are a pretty-normal 90mm reach,
140mm drop. If the Salsa bars have a shorter reach, then the levers will be
farther away on the noodle than they were on the Salsa. In practice, I use
the bulge-formed noodle bar and the Compass 1970's bend
