I believe the 174 is the Fairweather Allroad bar. I think all dimensions are identical to the noodle except for a shirter reach. I have one on my Saluki and love it. Paired with SRAM levers it provides enough reach without feeling like I'm falling over and includes the pull back towards the

Thanks for all the comments. Of course, the bike doesn't arrive until I've gone back to work on Tuesday after being off for 9 days and then have to fly out to Southern California for work! Really looking forward to biking this Sunday when I get back. On Tuesday, January 3, 2017 at 6:50:48 PM

I'm not sure what a "174" is. I have the Nitto Choco handlebars. On Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at 3:52:52 PM UTC-8, lum gim fong wrote: > > How did you like the 174 over the noodle? Is it really like a mini noodle? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Yes, I ended up taking that cover off the derailleur. It was just a cover to protect it while in transit. Dan On Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at 8:47:32 AM UTC-8, Ryan Fleming wrote: > > Lookin good...I like the black and cream. Sodo you leave that cover > over the derailleur on? Or is that

Lookin good...I like the black and cream. Sodo you leave that cover over the derailleur on? Or is that just more evidence of careful packing? Hoping you enjoy your new bike...let us all know how you like it and pictures, please ! On Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at 2:20:51 AM UTC-6, Daniel

Ps- I go about 2.5 degrees nose down on my Flyers. I think they might level a bit when you sit on them. -- 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, send an email to

Very nice indeed - I like the handlebar arrangement a great deal. In terms of the Brooks saddle, I find if it points slightly up at the nose until the buttock-divots form, then almost completely level it, that works really well (this is a process of quite a few hours riding time). I also like

Congrats on the new bike. I've had a few Sam Hillbornes and kept them light enough to do a number of 70 plus mile rides. Very comfortable and this set up looks great. Enjoy, Brice in San Diego On Tuesday, January 3, 2017 at 6:50:48 PM UTC-8, Daniel Betancourt wrote: > > To say I was excited
