Hi all, new to this forum, I arrived here looking for opinions on the Cowchipper, which I found.
In the meantime I've also learnt about the Ritchey Venturemax, which looks very similar to the Cowchipper, except with "bio bend" extensions and drops a little shallower (maybe).
My commuter came with a Bontrager bar that has an "ergonomic" bend, and I've grown to hate it. Mine is a more pronounced bend so this might not be an issue on the Ritchey, but I found the Bontraeger limited the comfortable positions where I could put my hands.
