Tom, I use MAP/Ahearne's on another bike, have used Nitto Bullmoose bars, and am also interested in the Wavie bars once they're available. That said, one of the adjustments I made this last year was raising my drop bar config up some and that change made an incredible difference. I had hurt m

in what way are you uncomfortable? hands, shoulders, what? Noodles have quite the drop, so maybe you can't reach the bar in that position. Maybe you need more height? Maybe you need Jones Loop Hbars? Of course that probably means some different parts, but could be the ticket: http://biketourin

For obvious reasons, it makes sense that most Roadinis will have traditional drops. I have a 46 Noodle on mine, the idea being that the Roadini is my dedicated go-fast bike for 10-40 milers. I like the various hand positions a drop affords for the longer trips. However...I'm finding myself n

Leah, You know, you're right. What's killing me is that my wife ordered a 60 Chev *2 years ago* and still hasn't built it up! No lie. Still in the box. Her's has a custom "Sam Blue" paint job, and I'm tellin' ya, it's a beaut. Here's a pic of Dave holding it up before they shipped it: [ima

Howdy folks. Not sure the current RBW offerings are really my style, but the Joe Appa piqued my curiousity. I see that it is currently not available, but the new Atlantis seems very similar. I would have gone for a 51cm/650B Joe, and it seems like the 53cm Atlantis would be the best choice there
