Just a few short months ago I bought a Sim Works Still Cruisin’ bar in a price-is-no-object impulse one-click-away way. As we discussed earlier, way way back in September. But after actually putting some miles on it, and getting a feel for it, I wasn’t feeling it. I spent more on that handlebar than I did on most of my average complete BikeWorks bikes total expenditure. Lesson learned. An integrated stem-bar setup is set up. No tweaking. No adjusting. It is what it is. Until it isn’t.
I’ve swapped out the bar again on the Raleigh that Sally gifted me 15 years ago. Losing count of how many times I’ve changed the stem & bars.
This time I’m not talking it up too much until I get some riding into it. Until then, when I’ll tell you more about it.
