[RBW] Bosco hand position

+1 for the upright-bar-tt-position. I really enjoyed it on the boscos but also achieve it on the albatrosses. I'm like boonen, cancellara, Sagan when I drop it down. Well, not really but it feels fast. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

[RBW] Bosco hand position

While riding today I discovered a new hand position using the Bosco bars! I have been using the normal handgrip position for just cruising, I usually grab the bends in front of the grips for out of the saddle sprinting, etc. and hands on the forward flats for seated climbing. But today while

Kai, Are you under the impression it is the same deep rich green that the Clem Jr's came in this time. That would be fitting a mountain sized bike. Getting tempting. Geometry sounds great. Stand over would almost match my 64cm Bombadil. As a tall-tall I am ecstatic that a company like Riv

You are correct - I was lobbing out the term 'crazy low' to describe a Q factor that is narrow compared to 2016 normal. It measures 134mm. On Monday, April 11, 2016 at 11:57:45 AM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > It's probably not really "crazy low Q", by your definition, but it is > probably a

It's probably not really "crazy low Q", by your definition, but it is probably a good 10mm narrower than your XD2. While stoker is running the 110mm BCD early 90s version of the Sugino/Ritchey cranks, I'm running the mid 90s 94mm BCD version on two bikes. Both are run as a double and both
