Trekking bars do look pretty interesting. Actually mustache bars are kind of attractive but I wonder how they would feel for all day riding.
Ya know.. I wonder if I could just find a machine shop here and ask them to heat and bend the bars I already have hehe? I'm going to look at some pictures and I'll toy around with them in the morning, I'm not giving up that it could be angle that's bugging me.
