Re: [RBW] Thinking of a Riv

Ahhh, my custom has already been delayed several weeks, and last week it got another delay because the painter "messed up" when putting the clear coat on the top tube, so the top tube needs to be repainted. Is that one or two weeks more? The way things are going, you're going to get yours sooner

[RBW] Re: Albatross bars ???

I agree with Bill. I've had albatross bars on several bikes with varying top tubes and various stems. Never really noticed much of a difference in comfort. I'd be inclined to go for a longish stem, but they put you in a forgiving position. -- You received this message because you are

Hi Alex, This is a great question. I am considering the same thing on my AHH. My wife has a bosco bar on her betty foy and she has the longest stem I have ever seen and the cockpit is still a bit cramped. The Albatross has the section of the bar that extends forward to make room for the grip

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddle recommendations for old lady butts

If she doesn't ride often, that can easily account for the sore butt. Just riding more can help a lot. She may just need to get over the rough spot. As far as what saddle might be best, I can say that in my forty years in the business, I've had very few women be happy with Brooks saddles, unless

[RBW] Re: Saddle recommendations for old lady butts

Not all "Old Lady butts", are the same. Saddle preference is highly personal even for older women. All the same parameters are valid, riding position, length of ride, conditioning to bicycle saddles in general. Please don't ask the group to make a recommendation based on your "Old Lady butt"

[RBW] Re: Albatross bars ???

I'm another one that is using the same stem I used for my drop bars. I went from fairly stretched out with drop bars to closer (and lower) with my albatross bars. If I were going to raise the bars above saddle height, personally, I'd want a longer (but only slightly) stem. Dialing in the fit

[RBW] Re: Albatross bars ???

I'd say 110mm is a good guess. Maybe even 120mm. I find that as you go more upright, that's kind of rolling your weight back onto the rear wheel of the bike, so sliding the saddle a bit forward at the same time might be something you decide to experiment with. Not everyone feels this way.

[RBW] Albatross bars ???

Hey! A quick question. I'm switching the drop bars on my Homer Hilsen to Albatross. Any advice on length adjustment on stem? Currently I have 90mm stem. My inference based on observations would dictate to get 110mm, a 20mm longer to retain handling comfort. Am I right? A little help here, please.
