Thanks for all the replies. Well, it looks like I'll go for the Albatross or the Bosco Bullmoose. Now I've got to decide which will serve me better... RBW also suggested the Albastache, but I figure it's probably a bit too similar to my current moustache on the Sam. On Thursday, August 8,

I have to put in a plug for the new revised moustache bars. They've quickly become my new favorite bar over drops or traditional moustache bars. I really like the wider grip and less reach over the old moustache bars. Mounted at saddle height, they're more comfortable on longer rides than riding

I started with Bullmoose bars on my Hunqapillar. Switched to Albas for a bit but found them to be too upright for my riding style. Too much weight was on the seat and there wasn't enough stretch. I found that most of my riding was on the curve of the Albas and not too comfortable. Then I lopped

Bullmoose Bosco. They make a much greater range of positions possible than any other, including drops. Albatross don't provide as effective aero positions as the Bosco can, and the width on the Bosco's is just incredibly comfortable.

I am not a fan of them upside down. If that is what you are after the moustache bars are much nicer IMO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to r

Veloria had a mixte with inverted Albas, and I've seen others with the same setup. It gives the bike a somewhat agressive retro look with the same potential hand positions. http://lovelybike.blogspot.com/2010/04/upside-down.html On Thursday, August 8, 2013 10:58:56 PM UTC-4, Ozonation wrote:

Albatross bars are excellent on my Hunqapillar and I ride a lot of root, rocky, and steep single track in the Colorado Rockies. You can look through my whole photo stream, but here are two pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/9360335191/ (there are a set of pics there showing the whol

I gnashed my teeth a bit before I finally committed to the Albatross bars. I'd always had drops on my road bikes in the past, and I was a little worried that I'd be giving up too much in the way of hand positions. Now, I can't imagine ever riding with drops again. I LOVE my Albas. It was a real
