That Specialized is about as necessary as the Fisher, holy bank account Batman! <br /><br />I do dig nice wide flat bars with anything between 11 - 17 deg of back sweep so I guess all I need is some Power Straps. I know Mark keeps buying them so I ought to swing by P bike for a pair.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400774544624205539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32198803.post-38897503066035675352010-01-01T12:58:32.316-05:002010-01-01T12:58:32.316-05:00Well, I have been doing some looking... and I have...Well, I have been doing some looking... and I haven't come up with anything yet. Save for the Chameleon, but that's not really in the inexpensive bracket.<br /><br />On the other extreme, companies now offer such outrageousness as this: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=47549&eid=4342&menuItemId=9247<br /><br />And Bianchi now only seems to offer 4 mountain bikes in their line and they're all crapola.<br /><br />Though, I will have you know that Surly does still offer the 1x1. QBP even has them in stock. And it's still black...<br /><br />I think if you get one you need to set it up with Power Straps, Cantis, and a flat bar. <br />IF you're going to go back, you mine as well go all the way.Aahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10421237375025249457noreply@blogger.com
