I may try the B-lines down the line. BUt I have a few spare CdlVs, and to be honest, I've always found them passable on a bike like this.
I have Pari-motos on the Velo Cult http://www.flickr.com/photos/25671211@N02/5760172509/in/set-72157626696269995 and they're fantastic for fast stuff, but I wouldn't tour on them. I'll post a photo when I have this bike fully loaded for a dry run around the neighborhood. On Jul 12, 6:48 am, Mike <mjawn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can't imagine touring on Albatross bars.
