I just put a pair of north roads on my Fiancee's second hand MTB. she loves them. they MTB bars bothered her and she hates having her hands out of reach of the brakes. the new bars solved the comfort problem without having to move her hands around much. She's not so good about telling me what the problem is, or how she thinks I should fix it so I decided to just jump in and change the bars instead of trying bar ends or anything like that. The bars I put on her bike are from a '73 Schwinn Suburban and they are the same as the ones on her '69 Breeze so I was sure they'd work. We rode 10 miles the other day and she loved every minute of it.
