with a Ram which I've yet to get out on (am going to swap out the Albatross

Hi all,
Pretty big price drop on this. Looking to get $1100 CAD net to me.
Considering how favourable the US dollar is to the CAD I hope this is more
compelling for the group.

Hi! I'm curious if anyone has experience with these bars? I was able to

I actually went the other way, converting from Albatross to Noodles. With
the Albas, I had a 12cm stem and bar end shifters (although I think
thumbies would be better). They felt very upright for me - hence the move
to Noodles - but I can't figure out whether I just didn't take to the

I had Albas on the Sam and switched over to 48 Noodles. For that bike the
Noodles feel right, but I think it's because I'm so used to drops. That
said, I've always been a bit Choco-curious, and am fascinated by the
proposition of a Wavie on the Sam...

Just an update here. I decided to stick with the Hillborne since I had so
many great rides on it the past few weeks and knew I would regret selling
it.
..nd someone else nabbed the Appaloosa - looks like the decision
was made for me!
I may consider going back to upright bars at
Think I see what most people are saying, and a few things have stuck out to
me:
- Both bikes are good, but having both of them would be better to cover
off all sorts of riding (Sam for more roadish endeavours, Appa for more
load/trails/wider usage)
- A bigger difference-maker is
So here's the situation. I've got a super hot lead on an orange 51
Appaloosa, but I'm already deep in it with a sage 51 canti Sam. Initially,
when I was looking at these bikes, I was torn between the two. I ultimately
leaned Sam because at the time I liked the colour and it was more
available.
I've always been a huge Appaloosa fanboy, and that Mermaid colour is sick!
I'm honestly toying around with the idea of selling the Sam to grab one of
these.

Knowing my tendencies, I imagine I'll be ordering those wide Noodles once
they exist. I currently have 48 Noodles on the Sam, and 52 Spank bars on
the Bombora - is this the best of both worlds?

Found this on eBay: Joe Appaloosa, 51cm, looks to be brand new. May be a
little $$$ especially with the new Joe A's around the corner, but thought
I'd share in the case that someone needs one right now. I do think this is
what Blue Lug is selling their stock of Joe's for at the moment.
This conversation is truly making me realize what a fool I was for selling
my Roadini.

Thanks for the feedback both o' y'all. Guess it makes sense to be a bit
more specific than just drops/stem/levers/shifters.
So, ideally
Stem length - 70-80mm
Bar width - 44 to 48 cm
Bar end shifters would be preferable. Index would be great, but am
