quite right for my use. If I were doing a tour it might be different, but
the way I use it the Alba bars transformed the bike, mostly by transforming
MY attitude when I get on it.
With the Albas (or, I'd imagine, most
I had the exact same revelation about Albatross bars a couple of years ago
when I swapped out my Noodles; attitude transformed as much as riding
posture. I keep the Noodles around thinking I might need them on some big

Tired of reaching down to drops for bar end shifter levers.
If that doesn't work out - Albatross bars are next on the list to try.
Glad your Sam has worked out great for you. Now get down to some nice
