Adrianna I like the RH Radonneur Bars. I set the bar height even or slightly above the saddle height and use the drops a lot when riding John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 11:36:18 AM UTC-4 Adrianna T wrote: > Now for the million dollar question.. what handlebars and

Do you like drop bars? I heartily recommend the Rene Herse Maes Parallel as the ultimate road drop bar - shallow drop, moderately long reach, long, flat ramps, just a hint of flare in the hooks. I use these on both road bikes and on the drop-barred gravel sand bike.

Now that is odd. I've owned literally a dozen Carradices here in high desert NM, where, believe me, the sun makes your seal-level high-noon, mid-summer sun look like twilight -- noonday sunlight on the ocean boardwalk in Venice, CA on a clear day looks murky in comparison, and I've seen it. My

Very nice build. As a fellow '95 Road rider, I share your enthusiasm for this bike's riding characteristics. 26" was used by RBW a couple of times to get better geometry in smaller size frames. It works. Hope you enjoy many miles on yours! On Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 7:52:32 PM UTC-5 Adrianna

Oh...I'm glad it worked out for you and you like the bike! I love the splash of yellow; it's so cheerful. Matches the buttery smooth ride of those early Rivendells Hope you have many happy miles on it. On Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 7:52:32 PM UTC-5 Adrianna T wrote: > Hi! > > Back in January I
