For those of you contemplating wider albatross bars, there's a custom bar
builder on Instagram doom.bars who has been making an albatross style bar in
various 600mm+ sizes. And can make customs for $100usd. Can't say haven't been
tempted.

I too would love a wider Albatross. I was really bummed to see that the 61
cm Loscos that Will uses didn't pass Nitto's testing. I'd really be into a
60s width, 25.4 clamp sweeper that would take bar end shifters. Best I can
find is the Surly Open Bar.

Those are similar looking! The unique thing with the Tumbleweed bar is the the
middle section is wider than normal to facilitate using a bar bag. But although
they don't list it, I am assuming the SOMA bar is lighter since it is aluminum.
Yes, steel bars tend to be heavier, but I rarely find
The Tumbleweed Persuader looks very similar to the Soma Dream bar, though
the Soma comes in aluminum.
Why do steel frames feel good while steel bars just feel harsh and heavy?
At least the ones I've tried.

I have to agree about the width of the Albatross bars, a little wider would be
nice, but if you put it into the context of when they actually came out, at
that time they were considered quite wide. Handlebars across ALL disciplines
have gotten MUCH wider. The Billie bar is a little wider
I don't watch it really, but the little I've seen shows he does employ a
dry wit. Tongue in cheek, spot on. Sarcasm, not really. (Well-intended
sarcasm is an oxymoron;^)

about these things. He gets a lot of those dude bro cyclists in his

unless you have hydraulic disc brakes you can go on the dirt. Pretty sure
it's

That title is a bit click-baity though. It mentions "Underbiking with the
Rivendell", but unless Russ cut out the more technical bits
He's already posted a second video of the Hillborne, this time on some mild
single-track.

The Sam's are supposed to arrive in "September-ish", so if they do the full
review later in Aug or Sept it will be timely enough as far as Riv is
concerned. Lately some of the more popular sizes and colors have sold out
before the frames even arrived, so I'm not sure how much advertising they
After watching this video, I jumped over to the Riv site to see what the
current spec is on the Sam... and it’s not even on the site. No preorder
info or anything. Seems like an opportunity missed.

To be clear - I didn't expect my comment to get so much play - it's just the
word I'm not into. The PLP folks seem lovely and I'm interested to hear what
they think of the Hillborne.

I’m very excited to see his review of the Riv...won’t sway my opinion of
Rivendell bikes but I always find his videos entertaining and I really like
their channel.
They make some great patches too, if you are into that.
Does the new Sam have long chainstays like the new Atlantis or is this
Glad to see Russ reviewing a Rivendell and curious to know what effect this
will have on Riv sales assuming a positive review. I agree that the word supple
is greatly over used on his channel, but overall he seems like a good dude who
is trying to promote the non-competitive cycling ethos in
Agree on the s-word. I try be flexible on these things though. When the day
comes that someone starts marketing brake pads as supple, I may be headed for
hermit land.

I watch him, he drives me crazy with how he "tests" things sometimes. His test
of clipless Vs. Flat pedals for example only demonstrated one thing & that was
that he didn't understand exactly how to use clipless pedals effectively! LOL
He has improved a lot though he's gotten popular enough
Should be interesting. Even if he says "supple" 17 times OMG I hate that term.

I’m looking forward to this also. I read about it first in a Riv email...a Sam
Hillborne review I believe.

I don't know what the reader/viewer overlap between the Riv list and the Path
Less Pedaled list is like, outside of Michael Mann and myself, but damn am I
excited by this!
