Nice review, jbithaca. Glad to hear that riding in the drops was ok, I was concerned about that. I've a fairly narrow sit bone width (100mm), so I'd like to give the Galibier a try, but I was also thinking that on long climbs, when I sit up, hands on the bar tops, grinding out a 5-mile climb, the wider Aravis might be better (even considering the extra 100g weight).
