At the time I got them, Scott also offered AT-2 and AT-3 models which both had slightly less degree of bend.
I wouldn't have thought that they are still available outside of
ebay / craigslist,
but who knows.
The rubber grips that I have on the bike are sort of decomposing. When the grips finally quit, I plan to wrap the bars with bar tape them all the way into the brake levers. The transition from the rubber grips to the bar tape is currently a little uncomfortable.
Thanks for the info! I really like the shape of them. Trekking bars are similar and I like them but with these they're almost like built in aero bars (sometimes I just want to put my hands close and out front like that)
