My good friend has ridden his 70's era Mercian across the U.S. a couple of times. I stood over his bike last summer; he has 38cm Cinelli bars on it! I've told him that he absolutely must try wide Noodles. He's not easily persuaded, and has no complaints about his Cinellis, but I still think he's missing out.
My Ram came stock with 46's and I don't think I'd ever change them. They're nearly perfect.

I'm another with only Noodles for my drop-barred bikes. Both the long-distance road bike (Redwood) and the singlespeed cyclocross/commuter bike (CrossCheck) run 46cm Noodles. I've done a few singlespeed conversions of 70s-80s road bikes over the years, and i'm amazed at how narrow the bars were then, it's hard for me to ride them. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
