Bought an almost new Albastache from a list member. Thought it was destined for the LHT or maybe to try on the SimpleOne. A few weekends back, a friend who recently ordered a Homer, used my Ram on a ride. This is while it still had the Noodle cockpit. He commented that he liked the drop position on the Ram compared to the thirty year old bike he had been riding. I commented that I almost never got into the drops. That got me thinking that the new bar was really destined for the Ram.
I also had recently disassembled an old Schwinn LeTour I had built up with all Shiny Parts, so I re-used the NOS Dura-Ace Centerpulls and the Velo-Orange Stainless fenders. Also changed out the VO rack for a Mark's Rack and topped it all off with Newbaum's burgundy bar tape and some NOS Modolo bronze hoods my wife bought me for Valentine's Day. Now I will probably have to find(at least) two more Albastache bars. I love the control that this bar gives me. It is a surprising amount of positive difference from the Mustache (my former favorite) on the SimpleOne or the Albatross (ran neck and neck to be No.2 with the Bosco on the Homer) on my LHT. https://flic.kr/s/aHsjF3Xuhx David Charlotte, NC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
