One more reason for changing the name of the new bar: there's already something out there called Back-Up Barz. And I'd really hate to get the two confused. http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2011/09/calling-for-backup-raising-bar.html http://www.backupbarz.com/ -- You received this message

I agree, any new bar is a welcomed bar in my opinion. If this bar is like a mustache bar but with an extra hand position or two that takes mountain levers I am sold. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this discussion

On a couple of occasions, I've gone into Riv HQ with my camera. Usually when I've been picking up a frame, so I could photograph the process. I'd take pictures of whatever caught my eye, and I think I ended up capturing and making public stuff that they had preferred had kept secret. Either

I'm really curious to see this bar. I anticipated that it would be some kind of multi position bar that takes mtn bike brake levers. Maybe I missed it the blug post but I'm curious if they're off- roadable. I recently swapped out the Albatross bars on my Cross Check commuter for a Surly Open Bar

Ok, here's my guess (disclaimer: I have not been to Walnut Creek..have not seen the bars): It's an Albatross with a road-bar-ish flat section, and a Moustache Bar-ish forward curve. The wider flat section before the curve starts provides the wider stem-to-end dimension; the deeper curve
