Noodly flex bars? I’ve had some noodle 3t bars and that was enough. They do not inspire confidence.
Seriously. i can flex the Nitto bars and stem on my vintage roadie like 20 degrees in either direction. I feel like I’m gonna twist the stem off when I sprint.
Needless to say, I don’t ride that bike much.
Hay @igor are these your people?
They’re just really into VO stuff! Therese has an MK3 (blue + canti) and MK4 (lilac + disc) Polyvalent that she rides the snot out of and Jeremy makes some awesome videos!
Not really sure if that exclamation point was worth it though
Found a beer that matches your bikes @igor

sloop brewing JUICE BOMB
beer… with… grapefruit
Can’t be mad at a tasty beer cocktail thing.
Everyone knows the best Raddlers are made with a 12 pack of miller lite tall boys and a half gallon of fresh grapefruit juice

Let’s skip a raddler and go straight to the sidewalk slammers. Take a forty, drink half of said forty, add 4loko.
Sidewalk slammer could be a good name for the VO bmx cruiser. Very on brand.

@igor why does whatbars.com list your Nouveau Randonneur bar at 85mm reach?

Also anyone remember the Rueda Tropical handlebar comparison tool? Only had road bars but it did whatbars better atmo. I think it was in flash tho and now it is dead. Wish I could find a working version.

i haven’t measured my actual physical pair but i think it’s 85 reach from the clamp, but the ramps are actually longer due to backsweep
One could say “real reach” is 85 then?
Yes, one could say the reach is 85. like how the FSA metropolis has negative reach despite going forward first
Since the hoods sweep back, the traditional reach (from the stem) is 85mm. The ramps are 105mm in length.
