Re: [RBW] Zero-rise Albatross Bar?

[arthur]

Hi Kieran:

You might try VO Porteur bars...not as much backsweep as either Riv Alba 
bars, but really, really comfortable (both road and mtb versions). They're 
narrower, however. I like them much better than the Albas.

Re: [RBW] Zero-rise Albatross Bar?

[Kieran J]

Yeah, these could work. I wish they came in silver without the logos - not 
Surly's MO, I suppose.
I could always invert the Albas I already have, but the aesthetics would 
drive me nuts :-P

[Garth]

You're better off having one custom made by Doombars as that way it's just 
as as you specify it.

Re: [RBW] Zero-rise Albatross Bar?

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

I thought the Surly Open Bar came in both a zero rise variant and a 
rise/drop variant.  I know it's not the same shape as the Albatross but 
maybe close enough if the zero rise is the bigger priority.

Re: [RBW] Zero-rise Albatross Bar?

[Johnny Alien]

I don't think there will be anything much closer to a zero rise albatross 
then the albastache. These brake levers work on road bars.

Re: [RBW] Zero-rise Albatross Bar?

[Kieran J]

I've tried the Albastache before - it's a very different bar with a lot of 
forward sweep and less backsweep. They also only accept road levers.

[RBW] Zero-rise Albatross Bar?

I'm looking for a handlebar that's very much like the Alba bars but flat/no 
rise. Essentially an Alba-size porteur. 

Anyone have any suggestions? The Choco bars are close but not quite flat.
