So something I learned.
As the bars get higher, the angle tends to steepen. As albastache bars for
me on a 8cm tallux stem barely make it up to saddle height, that means
they're basically flat.

I don't know much about this company and I just looked at their website,

Wonder how much it is to stay at the Ritz.
That would be neat to live there and have all that great riding right

Jan and others,
I was more or less joking about the 700 x 55 tires. I wasn't joking
that I want them, because I do, but I didn't think that Compass would
actually make and sell them.
I found myself riding my Atlantis on Aptos Creek/Buzzard Lagoon trail

Hey BSWP- I like them but am switching to Albatross because I like them even
better. Therefore, I'm selling a set of Albastache, Nitto 8mm dirt drop stem
and Shimano Tiagra brake levers that are all in excellent condition. Maybe 60
miles total with no scratches in case you're interested.

I just got a pair of Compass Stampede Pass (700Cx32mm) tires and was
wondering if there will be any problems installing on my rear DT Swiss 440
Asymetric or front Velocity A23 rims because of deep wells. The new
Stampedes will hopefully be replacing some Schwalbe Marathon and Vitorria

There is no irony. The OP noted that Grant got hassled by emailers for spam
from his account, and said OPwasn't happy about it. I'm not, either. GP is
a good fellow who's done a lot to make cycling in this country a more
accessible endeavor for people put off by lycra, low bars and Tour de

My 'long' rides are 50-ish miles and they're fine for comfort (mixed road
and trail). Not sure if that helps. Just as comfortable as my drops. Lots
of hand positions. Of course getting the right angle, stem length, height
is important.

Dirt road rides of 8+ hours on my Albastaches on consecutive days, as well
as trail riding (which I don't count because there is so much shuckin' and
jivin').

As I look to outfit a new bike, I'm tempted back from drops (I ride Noodles
right now) to try the new Albastache bars. I had ridden older M'bars for
over a decade, but eventuallty found them uncomfortable for long (50 miles

My PBH is 80cm and I have a 54cm Quickbeam. I am happy with the fit.

Larry,
I also have an 89cm PBH @ 6' tall. I ride a 61 Atlantis, 59 San Marcos, 60
LHT, and 60 Santana Noventa. They all fit well, but the Atlantis is my
favorite. I bought it last Summer off of this list, like new and
completely built (w/o wheels or saddle) as I would have for myself for
$2
I just built up a 1977 Raleigh Record LTD mixte for my Niece to take with
her to grad School at Oregon State this fall. Its my alma mater but I
(gasp) didn't have a bike while in College as I lived on campus and didn't
really need one and its been a few ..er..decades since I was last in town

R559 sale fell through. It is still available, $20 shipped, with a spacer,
a recessed nut, and pads in good shape.
Also the Power Shifters, still available.

I still believe that for tires 38 mm and wider, 650B offers more nimble
handling, while also improving the packaging of the tire between the
chainstays of the bike. Two things made us re-consider our opinion on wide

Ken, I definitely will not drop $3k on this frame. Like I wrote above
that amount buys me a new bike. My take-away from some of the comments
above was that I could manage a 59cm given my 89 PBH. Thanks for the
repost of the custom build. It is tempting but also a half cm smaller.
