I ride both, on bikes with very similiar dimensions (both riv's), they are very different and both good.
the albas look less serious, but you can go pretty fast with them, the upright position is comfortable, the curves allow you to stretch out a bit and they are so wide (way wider then even the widest noodles), that you can get plenty of leverage climbing. the noodles are great drop bars, no complaints, great ramps, comfortable over time, it's just a different ride if you've been riding drops for a long time and just want to try something different then you should try the albas. short of testing them yourself it's hard for us to really tell you one is better then the other. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
