The new bar should be here early next week. When I asked for a 40 cm bar. The LBS kept asking if I was sure I wanted such a small bar.

Maybe I am crazy for liking it. I retrofit my 2009 that had a 44 cm alloy ergo bar with the 40 cm Ritchey carbon ergo bar. I loved it as soon as it was installed. I saw no loss in breathing performance. I thought the bike handled so responsively with the small bar.
