+1 on Sambas. Apparently Adidas just released a cycling-specific model today called the Velosamba. Basically the same thing as a Samba but with stiffer sole and SPD compatibility. Pricey though! On Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 6:24:38 AM UTC-8 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > I like the Blundstone 550s

I'm thinking of converting a vintage road bike from drops to a flat bar. Tried out my friend's Miyata 210 set up with Nitto Jitensha bars and they felt really nice. These look great too though! Any thoughts on how the Get Around bars compare to the Jitenshas? Sam in Berkeley On Friday, March

Thanks for the info -- comparing them on whatbars it looks like the Jitenshas are narrower and have more sweep back actually. The Get Arounds do seem more fun/adventurey/MTB-suitable with a whole 120mm in extra width, and I could just keep my old 25.4 stem. Might have to give them a shot! On Su
