If I'm not mistaken I seem to remember Soma saying something about
producing an M-bar but for mountain bike brake levers. It would make
sense.
I've done a couple of rides on my Rambouillet with M-bars and it's
pretty nice. I did a longish ride yesterday with lots of climbling and

Even that has its place. Where I live, a lot of people (including,
sometimes, my wife) use bikes to exercise sled and skijor dogs in the

I am not sure how I feel about the city brake levers. I am surprised
that no one makes a standard looking mountain bike brake lever for a
road bar diameter. I guess there isn't much need for something like
that. I could probably try and find an old set of bars from a
Bridgestone.

I just purchased the most recent Renovelo, which is based on a 64cm
Rambouillet. Don't need 2 of them, so I'm selling my frame and fork.
It has the repaired and beefed up rear dropout, and is fresh from the
painters. Olive green metallic, with the usual cream highlights.

They explicitly claim to work with 23.8mm diameter bars.
Or, perhaps...

It's pretty much $20 per wheel. You pay "dimensional weight" in most
cases, so it doesn't matter that they weigh nothing.
Just shipped 2 wheels Portland OR to CT and it was $40.

Of course if you're running bar-end shifters then this won't work.

Mike,
Four years ago I bought the strangely shaped Noodle bars for my new-to-
me touring bike. And I too bought a 46 to help control the heavier
loads. I too was immediately impressed with the comfort. I still don't
fully understand it, but just bought two more to go on the Allrounder
and Legolas.
Watch out for retail storefront UPS and FedEx. I have been surprised
a few times at the quoted prices. If you send two wheels, don't send
em in separate boxes. At least tape the boxes together into one
package. I hear it is best to find someone with an account and have
them do it for you...if t
