I loved my 2010 (solid) orange Hillborne so much I bought a 2012 (solid) green

I find the specification of the 114-link chain being 8 links too short with a

+1 for the Albatross bar. I have both the CrMo and the Al. On mine, the
widths are different (they are from a different era, perhaps not even
(gasp!) from RBW). Al is either 54cm or 55cm and CrMo is 56cm. Switching
