[RBW] Has anyone gone from drops to Albas and regretted it?
Tried albas on my Ramb. Loved the appearance and the extra brake control. I found myself on the bends most of the time: I think the Ramb tt is on the sort side even with a 11 cm stem. However the breaker and reason I switched back to Noodles is that the more upright position resulted in back pain. The pain went away once I put the Noodles back on.

I've got noodles on my Atlantis and like them fine, but curiosity.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I think it has everything to do with your use of the bike. For distances I think a drop bar has proven to be pretty good. For a town bike ridden for fun or in traffic I like the upright posture of bars like albas. In an ideal world you'd have a bike or two with each. I had noodles on my Sam for a while. It took me a couples of iterations to realize it, but eventually I leaned that I just didn't use the bike that way, so it has albas now and my QB commuter has similar bars. But I ride those bikes a few miles at a time, sometimes in a suit. I currently have drops on my un-fendered Soma Double Cross that is my exercise bike. Experiment and find what works for you.
