Well
anatomic bars and I just don;t mix well, so I'm getting rid of them and goin back to a classic bend.
Along those lines, Grannygear was nice enough to offer 50+ers and send me his ritchey bars. Can't get comfortable on them or any other anatomic ergo bars, so...
as with his offer, I'm extendin the same - Free Handlebars - pristine - 44cm c-c
you pay ship
grannygear's original offer and descript below, and his pics...
PM me if you want them...
I'm switching my Romulus back to conventional bend bars...Nitto Noodles (http://www.rivbike.com/webalog/handlebars_stems_tape/) which have subtle, undulating curves, nice flats behind the 'hoods, moderate drop, angled tops, and are good, traditional bars.
So, I no longer need my Ritchey Pro anatomic bar and would gladly and freely send it to any 50Plusser (only 50Plussers...we're a fiercely tribal bunch, many of us being humble pensioners, etc.) who wants to try it and hopefully ride the dickens out of it. Just reimburse me for postage when you get it. If you don't like it, send it back and I'll find someone else to take it. Another 50Plusser and I did a very agreeable saddle swap during FarHorizon's short-lived swap thread. Consider this our new "Parts Share" thread. Well, as long as it lasts.
Particulars: 26mm clamp, 44cm wide ctr to ctr, black, few scratches that don't show. Pics below. Nice flat flats behind the hoods without a suicidal tilt that leaves your bar-ends almost vertical. After about 1K miles, my smallish hands still don't fit comfortably on the anatomic "bumps".
First email has it.
Blue Stars: Let me forgive you in advance (especially you Koffee ;) -- who called us the "BenGay bunch") if you need to kabosh this thread....you're only doing your duty as you see it.)
