Great! It just seems like it would work. I may be a trailblazer with a great idea, or crazy....... I'll know by the end of the week and will report my findings. I've been thinking about doing this for months and when I saw the bars in the shop, and the bike is there anyway for service, I thought I'd ask.
Rowan: The fitter was in the shop that day and measured my shoulders for the width of the bars.
Thanks for the positive encouragement.... I feel better about this now. It makes sense to me and I'm anxious to try it!
