Somewhere, maybe in the Blug?, I saw a view from straight above of an Albastache laid over a Moustache, but can't find it now. Does anyone know a link to that comparison? Thanks! - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch

Thank you, yes... there it was, just hidden below the edge of my computer screen. And of course, that's where I saw it before... just had forgotten that it wasn't up in the set of six images at the top of the written description. That, for me, is the best image to show the differences between

So something I learned. As the bars get higher, the angle tends to steepen. As albastache bars for me on a 8cm tallux stem barely make it up to saddle height, that means they're basically flat. On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 10:07 PM, Bruce Smitham wineh...@gmail.com wrote: Hey BSWP- I like them but

My 'long' rides are 50-ish miles and they're fine for comfort (mixed road and trail). Not sure if that helps. Just as comfortable as my drops. Lots of hand positions. Of course getting the right angle, stem length, height is important. On Wednesday, September 3, 2014 5:50:31 PM UTC-7, Deacon
