My good friend has ridden his 70's era Mercian
across the U.S. a couple of times. I stood over his bike last summer; he
has 38cm Cinelli bars on it! I've told him tha

missing out.
My Ram came stock with 46's and I don't think I'd ever change them. They're
nearly perfect.

More praise for the Noodle bars.
My bar (why are they called BARS, when there is only one?) was part of
the build on my first Rivendell custom. I knew as soon as I rested my
hands on it, my hands felt as though they were in the perfect
position. One of those "ah ha" moments when riding. I have
The big mouths will work too and I think that they look much 'cleaner'
on the Ram. Another option is the Tektro brake levers that have the
cable release in the lever. If you search the list archives there are
many threads on using Jack Browns on the Ram.
enjoy your new plusher ride!

I have 46cm Noodle bars on both my Rivs and another pair laying
around. If I were to go on a long tour or set up an off-road bike with
them I'd go with the 48s. They are great handlebars and, like others,
I can't say enough good things about them.

Phase two of the "Noodle Discovery Train" is finding the right width.
I ended up getting three pairs, 42-44-46, and swapped them back and
forth until I came to the conclusion that I indeed liked the 42's
best.
The wider bars worked well, but my pinkys got numb on long tides. No

Wide noodles are great for long days. I have them on 3 bikes and will
never use any other
drop bar. I also have some Albatross bars on my shopping bike and they
are perfect for
upright riding through traffic. Can't do the moustache bars though.

The Noodles are without question on of Grant's best designs. They're the
most comfortable drop bars I've ever used. It's funny how just a few little
tweaks can make such a big difference!

I tried Noodles and didn't like them; too deep and too long. I replaced them
with similarly wide Salsa Bell Laps which I find much more to my liking.

i purchased my "ram" frameset about 4 years ago after a lengthy
conversation, in person, with grant. like the noodle bars, i stayed
from purchasing a brooks. well, concerning the b-17, i broke down
about a month after riding my ram and haven't ridden another saddle
since. all my bikes have b-17's.

I got Noodles on my Atlantis just because I needed something and Riv's
discussion of them made sense. I'd always been pretty indifferent to h'bars
before that. Now anything else feels goofy, uncomfortable, and plai
what were you using before?
