[RBW] Re: Anybody recognize this handlebar?

I made a poor man's version of loop bar for my recent 6-hour trip by adding some old bar end grips to Alba. I think I used the loop area for about 20% of the times. Ideally for a long frame like Appa with some load, the loop needs to be wider. I do think overall it looks ugly, but an

I've got a pair (Surly Open Bar) I'd be willing to sell. Like new condition. They were installed on a bike for about a week. David On Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 10:01:16 PM UTC-7, Ash [who works to bike] wrote: > > I'm intrigued by the handlebar in this promo video. Looks promising. I >

Thanks Chris. I didn't make that clear in my original post so I am glad you clarified this. This is the reason I haven't used them on my Riv is because of the size. That is why I purchased the Map/Ahearne for the quill stem that I own. On Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 10:35:14 AM UTC-4, Chris

Eric beware that the Metropolis is only available in a 31.8. That is why for me only my Seven will accommodate those bars -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

I'm intrigued, as I'm looking for a new upright bar. What specifically do you like so much about the Metropolis? Are there improvements over the MAP or similar bar? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

[RBW] Re: Anybody recognize this handlebar?

I have three pair of Metropolis bars because they are my ultimate bar. After paring down my bikes to one Brompton and one Rivendell, the FSA's are sitting in a parts bin. I figure some day I will use them again. I did purchase the Map/Ahearne bars for the Riv because they resemble the

Sadly I won't have an opportunity to spend another $50 on handlebars because Metropolis because it is 31.8mm clamp diameter. (I don't know if a dirt drop like quill stem with 31.8 clamp) Make it $170, because I would have tried Jones H loop too if it was 25.4 -- You received this message

Sooo, for those playing along at home, it is definitely the Surly Open Bar? I am the queen of ALt bars and can't seem to try enough of them. My next bar is going to be the FSA Metropolis on my Seven Café Racer replacing the Bosco bars. Definitely not the Ahearnes - although that is nice one.

[RBW] Re: Anybody recognize this handlebar?

Hooray ! Glad you know now Ash. I did forget that it's black only, sort of a bummer but not a deal breaker on it's own. As for the logo, they are ED coated black so the logo is likely painted on top of that. Some acetone, goof-off, wd-40 or finger nail polish should remove it. -- You

[RBW] Re: Anybody recognize this handlebar?

I recognize it, that's a Surly Open bar. Note the larger curve radius and the greater sweep back angle(53deg) than the Ahearne bar(41deg). It's also wider @ 66cm. If I get a Clem or -L this is thar bar I will get. It comes in back or silver with or w/o 40mm rise, and it's steel so I can run

[RBW] Re: Anybody recognize this handlebar?

MAP/Ahearne was my first suspect. But this handlebar has wider straight region in the center (i.e. left and right of the clamp). Hope it is not an optical illusion I'm seeing. On Wednesday, 12 July 2017 22:06:09 UTC-7, Justin, Oakland wrote: > > Looks like the MAP/Ahearne bar would fit the
