Super Sport with Postino Handlebars

Here is the Super Sport with Velo Orange Postino handlebars.


The Postino bars are flat. The Super Sport has a 95mm stem. This places my hands right about inline with the steering axis.



I have one unexpected complaint with these bars; they place my hands closer than I would would like to my hips and my knees. I think I would prefer something that places my hands more forward. Which is why I wanted to try the bullhorn bars. I will continue to ride on these handlebars when I get a chance. I already straightened out the handlebar to wheel relationship. The rear brake cable housing is too long because I didn't want to cut it down yet since these handlebars may not be final. The grips are temporary as well.

Suggestions accepted with the caution that I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that I may not keep. For instance the Nitto Albastache handlebar looks interesting, particularly the set up that Russ at Path Less Traveled settled on. But at over $120 plus shipping, it ain't happening.

I'll report back again after getting some miles on this Postino's. It may take some times because I have personal/family issues pulling me away.

What do you think if these Postino handlebars?
