I'm not Joe, but it's the rack for a Lyon attach-a-bike or whatever they're called. Third wheeler, etc. The kind a kid would pedal, similar to a Burley Piccolo, et al. Hope that's clear. ;) Eric Indpls -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW

Perry- Back rack is as Eric described, the support structure for a trailercycle. It's almost like an extra, inverted rear triangle of seat/chainstays/dropouts - I wish Lyon had designed it to have a little more utility when the trailer is not attached, but c'est la vie. The front bag-support is

Hi Joe, What year and model is that Trek? I just bought an 82 710 for my wife that I am setting up similarly. It is too small for me and too big for her with drop bars. I am thinking North Roads or similar. Boscos do look tempting though. Tom Palmer Twin Lake, MI -- You received this message

1982 Trek 728 (touring model - the lng chainstay / centerpull-equipped year). 710, if I am not mistaken would be a more conventional, albeit very nice road model. Boscos are BIG. But, RBW now has a little bit smaller baby Bosco version. You can't go too wrong with Bosco / Alba / or North Road.

Hi Joe, Thanks so much. Wow! 1ft. away from saddle nose with the Bosco's. Now that is a close reach!! Even with that lng stem extension you have on that bike. Amazing. I am looking for a close reach, so looks like Bosco do the trick. Thanks for taking the time to send me the

Rob, I have Alba bars on my MB-3 and they are perfect for me. I was tempted by the appearance of the bullmoose and Bosco bars, but just for a moment. If I were setting the bike up now I would probably get the Boscos, but I think we are talking degrees of design perfection. If no overhead of the

You guys totally rock! (Just so you know.) Thanks for the pics. The top tube on my MB-3 is 59cm. It's the largest size, I believe (according to the catalog I found on Sheldon's website) but still feels a bit small to me...so maybe super-long top tubes were not the rage in 1991. I was thinking

Does anyone have a pic of the bullmoose (or any) Bosco Bars from above, looking directly down at 'em? Not from the cockpit, but as if you were standing on a ladder directly overhead? I'd like to see how far back behind the quill the ends of the bars fall, and get a better idea of the angle.

Hmm... I avoid the bar end knee strike by virtue of the long stem (and possibly top tube) - interesting to see how you set yours up more MTB-style, John. I'll say though, the bars do give a Nice Big Ride quality - this long chainstayed Trek rides like a limo- or a paperboy bike. My feeble attempt

Scrutinizing my low res photos, I should add that the bolt of the quill stem is centered somewhat between the 17 and 18 mark on the tape- hence bar ends extend rearward another 6 beyond (8 with barend fully straight). =- Joe On 7/24/12, Joe Bunik jbu...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm... I avoid the bar
