How often is a new frame designed at the same time as a new handlebar? I really like that idea; people talk about trail, geometry etc. of a frame, but so much of the feel and steering depends on the handlebar and the stem, so to have the frame and handlebar designed for each other makes a lot of sense, but I don’t think it happens very often.
I also like the part about using this bike for one purpose, which frees up your other bikes. If you have two or three bikes, the way you set one of them up influences the way you can set up the others. In other words, if you have one bike that can handle commuting, getting groceries etc. then you maybe you can take the fenders and basket off another bike and it becomes your sport bike, or imaginary racing machine. I don’t really need this kind of bike right now, but it is kind of fun to critique bike design, even though it isn’t the same as actually knowing how to build them, or having that skill or experience. It isn’t to judge how a bike was designed, or criticize, but as a bicycling enthusiast it is interesting to talk about the geometry and design of frames, more as an appreciation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
