Beautiful Silver Appaloosa, and the setting of the photo makes me nostalgic for when Douglas Brooks would post photos of his stable, in the early days of this forum. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

I think the Jones Bar looks much better with the grips designed for it and some tape to complement the frame. Pic below. On Wednesday, November 29, 2017 at

Completely agree reg aesthetics. It can't match the clean elegant look of Nitto Dirt Drop + ChocoNORM/Albas It keeps bothering me. I try not to think about it :) On Tuesday, 28 November 2017 00:12:00 UTC-5, Stuart Lovinggood wrote: > > No doubt these are comfortable (I used to run Jones on

Looks great! Really want one of those for my Xtracycle! Only thing I think you need to finish it off is a bit of bar-tape, twine and shellac! ;) Ty On Monday, November 27, 2017 at 5:39:59 PM UTC-8, Ash [who works to bike] wrote: > > Like every other alt bar in I've ever seen/heard of, Jones

I agree it's a little ungainly on a 1-inch quill adapter. It has that effect on my Clem L, too, which is excaserbated by the thin double downtubes. I like the look of the bars, but it *does* mesh better aesthetically on Jones bikes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

No doubt these are comfortable (I used to run Jones on my fat bike) but I can't say I find the 2.5 aesthetically pleasing. That front loop looks enormous. Maybe seeing them on more builds will normalize the look. On Monday, November 27, 2017 at 5:39:59 PM UTC-8, Ash [who works to bike] wrote:
