Yes, they are definitely not Noodles or RH Rando Bars. Just had a good thought--since Mark built the bike up with Mark's Bars, I should check Mark's Staff Bikes page on Riv. Plenty of examples on his page with Mark's bars setup. https://www.rivbike.com/pages/marks-staff-bikes By my crude meas

Mark's Bar is neither, it is/was a more modern roadie bend where if you set up the ramps flat then the drops will point at the ground at about a 75° angle. For positioning of bar and levers think cyclocross, a short intense ride with hands rarely in one spot for more than a minute. -- You re

35 miles out in the country on the Roadeo today and man, I like this bike more & more. So smooth and comfortable. I topped out at 45mph on one downhill. And I rode a dirt section of nearby Sam's Creek Road on it with no trouble--something I'd never have attempted on my RB-1 with 25mm rubber. I'
