Hi all,

The Albatross bars are out of stock at Rivendell. I was hoping to use them on a HHH build. Is there anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area with some up for grabs? I prefer the aluminum but am open to the steel version as well. I have some h'bars for trade, Nitto B115, Nitto promenade (the U shaped one), and some Nitto Randoneeur bars. 

Thanks!

Hi Ash,
No can PM for some reason. Are they aluminum or cromo? What condition? Pics would be great :)

I have a set of heat treated aluminum Albatross bars if you are still looking.

Hi, I bought 2 of these a few years ago (heat treated Aluminum), and only mounted them for a day or two. They didn't work for me on the frames I wanted to use them on (one is a 1980's Trek 720), because the frame was a good fit for me with a flat upright MTB style bar mounted.  When I mounted the Albatross bar it came back too far for my preference. Had I had a size or two larger frame (or one with a longish top tube),...I could have used it.

   Anyway, it bears just the light marks of mounting brake levers,....which yours would likely cover anyway. I would sell for $85 "shipped",...with with anticipated shipping of about $15 the bars are basically $70 bucks. :-)

If you can't find one locally,...email at your convenience.

Cheers,
Joseph Tousignant

Hi Tim or Joseph

It sounds like Christian found what he was looking for but I'm looking for an Albatross bar as well. I don't have permission to PM members, but if you shoot me an email we can work something out.

Thanks,
Ray

Just to let everyone know BOTH of my Heat Treated Albatross handlebars have been SOLD, and I have no others remaining.  

Glad to see they will get the use they deserve.... :-)
