Anyone running Nitto 177 "Noodle" bars with a decent saddle/bar drop?
I'm running these bars on a bike with a more upright position, but I just found one used for $20. I'm thinking of running it on my Davidson to replace the POS Nashbar ergo drops that flex like mad. While it's still a grouchy ol' steel bike it's set up more aggressively (-17 stem). I'm mainly wondering if I'm going to be constantly banging my wrists due to the backsweep. I'm open to a different stem but I don't want to change my basic position on the bike. Here's a pic of the current setup for reference.
