I'm in the process of putting together a Cross Check build I will use primarily for commuting, road and dirtl road riding. I intend to ride longer distances including centuries when I can't hit the trails due to mud and such. At somepoint I may get a set of wider wheels and hit the trails with some 700x45's but not for a while and only occasionally.

I really don't like craning my neck from the drops of a traditional drop bar and am considering either a Midge or Randonneur for the bars. I plan on setting up the flat of the bar about level with my seat so the drops will be a bit lower. I figure this will yield a pretty comfy position.

I'm just wondering which bar is for me? Any suggestions or experiences with either of these?


Thanks,
