[RBW] Re: And the winner of best handlebar is....
For me, depends on what kind of riding you do. I have/have had noodles, moustache, bullmoose, albatross, and albastache (all riv models - though I stopped using the noodles and moustaches because they felt a bit too compact after a while). I love the albatrosses for cruising around and some light trail riding. The bullmooses obvs for offroading. For road and long distance (and some trails), the albastache are a great all around choice. They're comfortable, the brakes are on the right spot, and you've got plenty of hand placement choices. john On Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at 4:53:17 AM UTC+2 Hugh Smitham wrote: > I love my Choco bars.

Johnny, Your Saluki is a great looking, well put together bike. I won't jump into handlebar preferences (been using Noodles for years). Eric asked about your VO skewers. I purchased a set in silver when they were first offered - based solely on their appearance. I think they tighten adequately but are somewhat fiddly to get there. My disappointment with them is the edges of the lever are not rounded; they're flat and consequently sharp. Not the most comfortable on one's hand. VO could have charged a bit more and had the thin lever fattened just a bit and more finely finished. I remedied it by filing and smoothing down the edges. Not a lot of material to work with but the result is more comfortable.

[RBW] Re: And the winner of best handlebar is....
Yes the Albatross. I love that bar. It not only looks gorgeous, it just feels right. I replaced my noodles with it on my Cross Check and never looked back. Agree with Leah about "bird in flight" that's a very apt description. I have Bosco on my Cheviot, and it's great bar for that bike, sometimes I think it's almost too much, my hands are often forward on the ramps, but when I slow down and I'm sightseeing or maneuvering in tight spaces I'm all the way back on the grips again... so it works out really nice on this frame, but Bosco is not adaptable to ever bike... The Albatross works on almost anything, it's very mission flexible. On Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at 10:03:28 AM UTC-4 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > I had Albatross on my Betty Foy.

I had Albatross on my Betty Foy. Loved them but wanted them to come back towards me a little bit. The Billie Bar on My Platypus (my #1 absolute eternal favorite bar and bike) does exactly that, and it flares in the most ergonomic way imaginable. When I’m climbing, I slide my hands forward and have the best place to grip. As far as rise, I have the Nitto extra tall stem (280 mm, found on Soma’s site) so I can get them pretty high. Oh, the Billie is drop-dead gorgeous - but so is the Albatross. The Albatross looks like a bird in flight and the Billie looks like a woman holding her petticoats aloft as she glides across the room. Both wonderful bars.

I find the albatross bar to be very comfortable, partly because of the greater rise than say, the billie. I notice there is a 4 degree difference in sweep between those 2 bars. Is that a substantial difference? and if so, how? I've not tried the billie so I'm curious if anyone has directly compared the 2 bars.

The only thing I could see would improve on the albastache is if it tapered in a way that would allow either road levers (like it uses now) and the bends and mountain levers on the ends allowing the user to decide what setup they wanted. I saw a moustache variant that was made that way. I would stick with the road levers but it would be interesting to have options.

@Eric the Velo Orange skewers are really nice. Will the Shimano style clamp a little better? Probablybut these do a really nice job, look great and are light. @Michael if I am going with drops I am for sure going with the Noodle. That is actually what I had on the Saluki before the Albastache. @Joe Billie's are a very close second and what I currently have on my Gallop prototype.

[RBW] Re: And the winner is...
Congrats Liesl! And thanks Grant for a great (and generous) contest that made crawling out of the holidays back into the work world something to look forward to. I had more fun thinking about winning the raffle than about any other contest I've entered and not won!
