Agreed. If you've got the long arms, then a slightly shorter stem (Nitto Dirt Drop) and drop bars could work. I've got the short arms, so I've completely given up on drop bars. In fact, I've given up on Moustache bars, as well. My latest bike has an upside down and cut Albatross, setup in Moustache fashion. This gave me Moustache functionality and effectively reduced the reach by 4cm which allowed me to run a frame with a slightly longer top tube. That's the best I could do. My Hunqapillar, should I take the plunge, would require a Bull Moose or a right-side up Albatross. Drops are out of the question. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
