Agreed. My Schwinn is similar in geometry to your bike. Initially I installed some Ergon GC2s on the bike; they are great grips, but they left me wanting more. After a lot of reading and posting here I ordered a set of trekking bars and they work great on this bike. One caveat - I had to install a longer stem to get my controls back into the general position they were in before the switch, but than only set me back another $20.
