Didn't someone (maybe from Riv?) mention the bars on the Rodeo in the BLUG were Ahearne Map bars? They have a modest sweep back maybe a small amount of rise but very little. I have the Origin 8 Space bars on my Atlantis now they are quite similar. dougP On Monday, October 20, 2014

I'd call that bar a flat bar. (It's not a straight bar, in the way that some mountain-bike bars can be jackhammer-handle straight, but that's another matter.) Evan E. SF, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe

I wouldn't call it a flat bar. I'd call it a North-roads bar, or a 3-speed city bar, or a swept back bar, bot not a flat bar. On Monday, October 20, 2014 4:23:41 PM UTC-4, Evan wrote: I'd call that bar a flat bar. (It's not a straight bar, in the way that some mountain-bike bars can be

Dunno... but it doesn't look like a bar that will lay flat on a table in any orientation. Many bars do, even my Bullmoose bars, but the ones on that Roadeo look to have sweep away from the stem and bend back toward the hands that are not co-planar. Still, I bet they ride nice. :-) - Andrew,

What can I say Bill... I also jump on typos in the Blug, can't help myself, even when I *know* what was meant. Next time you pass me going up a hill on a SFR brevet, I'll be sure to ring the bell on my not-flattish-at-all Noodle bars. - Andrew, Berkeley On Monday, October 20, 2014 6:03:45 PM

I can't tell from the photo, but there might be locking skewers for wheels and seatpost. If that's the case, there's not much more to do. As one who uses locking skewers for wheels, seatpost, saddle, it is a bit discerning sometimes how not locked up my bike looks sometimes even with a u-lock.
