r with the Bullmoose bars, especially if I want to use them for
a longer-distance (30+ mile) ride. But for now I still like the
variety provided by the as-is Bullmoose bars. And I think the
Moustache and the Noodles will stay on the max'd Dirt Drop 100.
Particularly with the Noodles; I'
xpected. I wonder if there's a
particular reason.

chiding me for my lack of photographic prowess, I thought I'd point it
out. Another thing to note in an update to the page.

u'd always want some other bar, with Bullmoose you'd always
want some other frame)?
Or was it something else?
Oh, and the more I ride the Bullmoose bars, the more beautiful they look from
the saddle. And those portuguese cork grips with clear shellac look great!

long. Swapping wheels was a *lot* less tedious than swapping tires.
Now, of course, I'll probably leave the studded-tire wheels on the Trek each
year from for first snow&ice day until the last... sometime in mid/late May! :)

but I'm not the biggest cyclist on earth. Yet apparently my drop bar
of choice is the largest I've ever seen. I'd probably have a 50 if I
knew where I could get one.

Seriously? Nobody went for $140?! If I didn't have two already, I
would now!
This bag is the best summer saddlebag imaginable!
(SaddleSack Large is the winter winner.)

shaving another cm of width would really make a significant
difference.
What are the other real differences? Shape? If so, how is it
different? Thickness of leather (for me I think thicker would be
better)? Don't care about weight per se. Or rail color.
Thanks for any info/opininons!
I wouldn't Luke that.
I think the B68's nose was a little higher than it's back; I liked
that part if it.

Well, as it turns out, I use the Nitto saddlebag grip. So theoretically a lack
of loops wouldn't matter. Of course, there may come a time when i'd rather just
use loops (for simplicity, for looks, for any-reason-except-to-save-weight :))
So it's definitely something to consider.
I'm looking forward to a "select" B17. If it's simply a thicker stiffer B17
Special that'd be beautiful (unless they cost $300 or something; that'd be
ridiculous).

uly uncomfortable bits are the tubular rivets, which sometimes dig
into my butt in a manner most unhappy-making. I'm hopeful that the more
broad copper rivets will stay in place longer and/or be more gentle on my
posterior when the time of their unsettling eventually comes.)
