Thanks, Pano. And to add to your data, the Dahon, on which I have the M bar, has a fixed handlebar "mast" which does not allow adjustment either in height or reach, and I find that my M bar is already higher than I find entirely comfortable. I've owned a good 6 of the original Moustache bar since

Re: [RBW] Pano's built up Rivendell custom on Rivendell flicker

Patrick, I have not tried the Moustache but looking at the picture RBW has on their website, superimposing the Moustache over the Albastache, I can not see how the Albastache would offer much more comfort. Their shape is rather similar. The only real difference I see, at least in my perception,

Re: [RBW] Pano's built up Rivendell custom on Rivendell flicker

Again, good point, to add to all the information others have passed on about the Albastaches, particularly describing how the Albastache is more comfortable than the original Moustache. I'll look out for a used pair. Come to think of it, the obvious place to try an Albastache would be my Dahon

Re: [RBW] Pano's built up Rivendell custom on Rivendell flicker

Patrick, to give you prospective on where I'm coming from, my drop bars are typically 46cm (outside to outside) and the ones I use on all of my bikes are the Deda Zero100 and the Ritchey Logic Classique. The Albastache, being about 10cm wider, took a bit of time getting used to them but the

Pano: thanks for the well thought out description and analysis. You have made a very good case for the Albastaches! My one concern at this point is the width; I dislike bars much wider than 44 cm -- 25 years ago I used to cut 2" off each side of my mountain bike bars, and weren't those bars

@Patric Moore Thank you and yes, it is a custom. In reference to your comments on the Albastache, I'll try to convey my thoughts on them over a use of about 500 miles which admidetly is neither long nor diverse enough so consider the following as work in progress. I have found three distinct

Re: [RBW] Pano's built up Rivendell custom on Rivendell flicker

Very pretty. I'm late to the thread, but I take it that this one is a custom? It's certainly all bagged out! I am tempted to try the Albastaches. My concern, as yours was, is riding into the wind. Can you get both a position low enough to duck the wind and generate power, while at the same time

@WETH Erl. It will be my pleasure to meet if you would like to have a close look at the bike. As a matter of fact, since it seems there are several of us who live around D.C., it would be enjoyable to arrange a meet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Thanks for the kind words guys! The bike came out looking and feeling fantastic! I've got a little over 500 miles on it so far and it feels like the cockpit is dialed in. The fit is perfect! Cant add pics through my iPad so added a few more at the flickr site: Side view

Pano in fact is in the DC area. I've been on a couple of rides with him in Southern Maryland this month when he brought that bike. It's actually nicer looking in real life than it is in those photographs. On 03/24/2017 12:05 PM, WETH wrote: I agree that is a beautiful bike! Every detail

The levers on Pano's build appear to be Origin8 Classique levers. https://stuffdavelikes.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/diacompe-and-trp-drilled-brake-levers/ They're pretty good for the price, but not as nice as TRP RRL's. But in this sideways application, you're not using the biggest advantage of

Noticed a couple of shots of that beautiful burnt orange custom of Pano's fully built up. That bike looks gorgeous e.g. https://www.flickr.com/photos/146516191@N05/33161008102/in/pool-rivendell/ Really classy! So
