I really don't see 1-2 cm below saddle height as low, certainly not really low.
The one thing Rivs are, they are usually versatile and can be set up many different ways. When I had my Sam I had it with drops that started two inches above saddle height and that eventually went down to 1 cm below the saddle. I just naturally felt more comfy there...then I switched it albatross and of course the bars were higher then. The bike worked great with each setup too. My Roadeo is going similar to the Sam where I started a little above saddle height but now I have mark's bars an inch below. Rivs can certainly be ridden with bars that are lower than saddle height. This is why quill stems are awesome too. The Joe really seems like a more laid back upright bike though. The long wheelbase and top tube length kinda point it in that direction. Drop bars would certainly work for those who don't mind actually riding in the drops. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
