Greetings all,
I just joined the group, and I'd like to ask the collective about their
experiences converting a a drop bar road bike for use with a Riv Albatross
bar, and specifically the size of stem to use. Its not easy to do a search
on this without weeding through many FS or WTB posts for A
Albatross handlebars, has anyone compared the shape of the 25.4mm clamp
version to the shape of the 31.8mm clamp bar?
I have a set of the old 56cm wide 25.4mm clamp version of the Albatross
bars, which I like very much and are significantly wider up to the curves,
and I wondered if the 31
I've tried the Moustache probably a dozen times over the years (all the
original model) and, while it is not as uncomfortable as some other bars
I've used, it is never good for more than a few miles. But I always found
the curves the most comfortable part, and that is where I positioned the
brake l
I find the rearward position on Moustache/Albastache to feel completely
different to Albatross with Ergons. In theory they should be similar, but in
practice the Albatross is miles better with those paddles on there.

I've got a question for the collective. I'm looking to get a little more
upright in life. I am considering Albatross bars. My concern is that I have
tried a few times to get comfortable on Moustache, and later Albastache
bars, and never really gelled with them. I didn't find the forward position
12cm, 13 if you can find one. You'll be a bit shocked at how far back those
bars reach.

I used mine with my existing drop bar 8cm stem and handling was fantastic in
all circumstances.
Your existing stem may be fine. Why buy before you try?

Hey!
A quick question. I'm switching the drop bars on my Homer Hilsen to
Albatross. Any advice on length adjustment on stem?
Currently I have 90mm stem. My inference based on observations would
dictate to get 110mm, a 20mm longer to retain handling comfort.
Am I right?
A little help here, please.
I'm thinking about switching out my drop bars for albatross on one of
my bikes to mix things up. So I'm also thinking about getting the
aluminum. A bit more in price but I think aluminum is what I want.
Anybody think the steel bars are better? I'd love to hear some
feedback from people who have use
I have been using my Rambouillet mostly as a commuter and for rides
less than 1 to 2 hours long. I have been thinking about trying out
some upright bars on it for better visibility. Anyone try this with
their Rambouillet?

Wow, I like these bars. I seem to favor the position where the bars
curve from the straight sections. What's the best way to position the
brake levers?

This weekend I changed to Albatross handlebars on my All-Rounder. If
anyone has any suggestions/hints/advice I would welcome the input.
Many thanks to Keven & Grant at RBW for the quick answers to my e-mail
questions.
