Tom, Thanks for asking. Yes, I still run the inverted albastache bars. They work well on this frame which is too small for me. Sorry I haven't tried them the normal way, yet. I still don't ride the bike as much as I feel I should. I should sell it to someone who would use it more, but it

Erl, I know it's an old thread -- but curious about the inverted Albastache bars. Have you continued with this setup? Have you tried them in the 'intended' position and found it to be better/worse? If so, in what ways? Neat idea...I'm surprised more haven't tried and written about it. The

I second Tony's statement that getting a frame with "Rivendell" on the down tube is worth a great deal! And, as if anyone needs anymore convincing, I too have seen this bike in person and can attest to its gorgeousness. Erl does excellent builds. Good luck Erl, I know you are enjoying this

I've seen this bike in person, it's a beaut! Just getting a frame with 'RIVENDELL' boldly lettered on the down tube is a darn good excuse to buy. Good thing for me it's way to small. Erl - I guess this means my suggestion of mounting the frame in you living room as sculpture/art didn't
