I just missed out on the Nashbars for $9.00.
They just went back up to $24.95 I had them bookmarked to order this morning and was willing to give them a try at $9...not so much at $25.

Some sites mess with prices via cookies. Airfare sites are notorious for that as well. Since I'm too lazy to clear my cookies, I usually just switch from FF to Chrome, and double check.

still waiting on the bars. Knowing Nashbar, these bars may take a week to be shipped.

not that many hand positions (but the ones you do have are pretty comfortable). slight drop makes it slightly uncomfortable for commuting. kind of wide, hard to get aero enough to go fast. good leverage for climbing.

Put the bars on and took a ride today. I'm happy these bars aren't as flexy as my Soma steel track drops. Even when I push and pull on the ends when I pedal from a stop or track stand it feels stiff. Obviously I can't compare stiffness and comfort to the Al bars that were recommended, but this bar isn't so bad. I got it on sale, but if it wasn't then I'd go with Nitto or whatever else was recommended. I like them and I think they make my bike look pretty cool. Don't hate on the pink tape

Took a ride with the new mustache bars a month ago (around 25 miles). They felt great for the first 10 or so....still have some residual numbness in my left hand from that ride.
The next day I flipped them over to a more "North Road" position and they feel a little better, but I'll probably throw some road bars on it later.

That's the thing I am talking about. I think you have to use a shorter stem at higher stem height. I am experimenting with it. ... I am out of work with a broken collar bone; and am absolutely bored, you see?
70 mm stem with 225 mm quill. Normal Technomic stem are 150 mm. I am hoping it would raise my bar up by 5-7cm and toward me by 2-3cm. That ought to put my posture back and less pressures on lower palms.
Geez. I can't get on my bike for another month or two. I can't wait.

I think that's upside down Nitto RB021 with ends cut off. You know you can get those as narrow as 380mm. Not a bad idea as it seems. Promenade bars are a bit too wide for most of us.
P.S. My clavicle is fine. Stitched up and pampered by lady-nurses. Who said pampered by lady-nurses are good!? That man must've been deranged. (Oh no offense to nurses here. It just pain in a butt to be a patient, you see?)
