I'd be a bit more comfy braking in the drops if they were a smidge closer.

    PS- You have some adorable furkids yourself. Do you do agility with any of them? Cass and I went to our 2nd class last night. She's normally a wuss about new things, but her inner mtn dog must've kicked in- she was having a grand time climbing the a-frame and dogwalk.
    Ritchey Biomax. ergos yes. THey're 38cm adn were fine except in the drops and I have a way of over fussing with things...

    We have done, but mosty do obedience and therapy and rally...my sister is starting agility with her papillon in Wayland...or Waltham..can't remember!

    I think I looked at the biomax bars- are they the ones that the tops bend away from you as they go out from the stem (ie the top is not one straight line)? Maybe those were the easton ergo bars... I can't remember. I'd need a straight bar in the tops if not bent toward me slightly because of my wrist. You're not the only one fussing- DH has asked me if anything original is going to be left on her! So far only saddle (it was mens ouch), stem, and frog pedals which I don't thick is too bad!

    Especially for Pets in wayland maybe? I know there's none in Waltham- that's where we do obedience/rally. I'm having to bring her out to worcester with me and do daycare while I'm at work. If it is EFP, I'd be interested to see what she thinks.

    she's working w/ Janice Ritter in EFP Wayland...hopefully she'll continue at Charles River DTC. ; they meet in Waltham.
    Her name is Debbie and her papillon is Billy...he's a rescue from Florida.

    it's a SMALL world (but I wouldn't want to have to clean it...'-)
    e

    I have ththe Ritcheys on in those photos of my hands...I'll have to go back and find which thread they're in. I think Lisa was right...shims might've solved the problem...but I got all into handlebars!

    When I picked up the stem, they had the ritchey biomax- totally bent my wrist the wrong way just gently picking it up. The ledge on the drops didn't bother me too much (granted they were unmounted)- I thought they'd poke your hand more. Still tinkering but if I was going to do 38 the biomax wouldn't work for me.

    I was going to say there was a lady in our CRDTC class who had rescue papillons. Such a small world. They take a hiatus from classes over the summer, so thought we'd give another place a go.

    Hi Mayanorange,
    approximately, I'd say the Deda 4 girls have reach 110 and drop 150. If they were 40 wide instead of 38 they'd be my favorite bars for the comfort. BUT, remember that they weigh about 250g, so although on the lighter end for alu bar - they are not as light as carbon...

    I'm really horrible with names, especially the people! Billy sounds right, tho- red and white?

    I'll have to measure and take the new stem for a spin. It's torrential rain up here, so I spun for a minute on the trainer, but need to road-test. And aluminum is fine- I'm not too terribly concerned with weight- coming from a mtn bike this bike seems insanely light.
