My comfortable height for "upright" bars is level with, to maybe 1" above my saddle height, so Loscos make sense to me :D -- 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,

Hi Joe!! Was thinking about your note. You are right the Losco bars make no sense except they look awesome. But for me making your bicycle look the way you want it to (and perform just right too) can be half the fun. The tension between trying to make a bike both ride and look great is part

Garth and Joe, Thanks for confirming that the rise is less than the Albatross. Not exactly what I wanted to hear. But perhaps the bike has a taller headtube that would make up for this. Or, get one of those super-duper tall stem that BBDD loves on her Clem L. But, I understand they are

I am also eyeing these for my future Platypus build. I have a Bosco on my Appaloosa and an Albatross on my San Marcos. The Losco looks like a hybrid between them. On Sunday, September 20, 2020 at 2:47:50 PM UTC-5 Roberta wrote: > (I deleted last post because of a typo in a link, rendering

I saw that post too, another great swept back option! My Rosco Baby has the original Bosco and the rise is helpful, but I'd love to see the Losco on some other bikes, it fills a gap in the long sweep back bar options. Abe On Friday, January 24, 2020 at 3:04:55 PM UTC-8, Gabriel Bruguier wrote:
