I prefer pullbacks to drops, but I've noticed that I really don't use them for
a more upright position than the flats/hoods stance on drops, they just look
better than drops jacked up that high. I suspect your problem is you've moved
the grips too close compared to that hoods position and it's m
I love my albatross bars but the key for me is
1: a long stem to let me lean forward, a little less than I would riding the
hoods of a drop bar
2: using them for stop and go downtown commuting at a slow to moderate pace,
and grocery getting. They are called cruiser bars for a reason.

Seems to me Dave all you are saying is that you experienced the fallacy of all
the assumptions you bought into being "true". As you can see, truth is not
relative to anyone or anything, truth is truth, Absolute, absolutely. Any idea
to contrary the Absolute could only confirm the Absolute. It's
Hello Dave,
Upright is relative. I ride “upright” bars, Soma Oxford, VO porteur ,and
sunlight alloy touring. It is all about back angle for me. Because the bars
come back a lot, I have shifted to very long stems and longer top tubes than my
drop bar bikes. I check the bike coop regularly and sco
I have drop bar bikes, and albatross bikes. On my drop bar bikes (Quickbeam,
old steel Bianchi, Colnago Master), I know how many miles I travel, because
that is the point. On my alba bikes (Cheviot, AHH), I never know how many
miles. I am far more concerned with making sure I remember to put my
I like albatross with a 13cm quill stem that's able to drop a bit lower than
your threadless adapter will get you. It's what works for me on my Rosco, but I
like semi upright tweensville.

I can’t answer your question as I shifted from Albatross to the new Moustache
(Albastache). The New Moustache is a bar you may want to consider. Curves are a
semi-agressive forward position and the upright position offers varity based on
how you set up stem length and height.
With abandon,

I haven’t experimented nearly so widely, but this has been my experience riding
upright as well. Closest I’ve come is with Alba bars on a tandem, but nothing
I’ve tried is as comfortable as I am on above-the-saddle noodles.
