I don't know if they're the same either, but so far I agree with all of that. I'm not changing mine for a while, but I think I probably will eventually.

I saw an old Schwinn Super Sport the other day, and it had these awesome bars. They were round (of course, no ergos back then) and had a little flare at the bottom, but not a huge flare. They were very narrow though. If I could get a set like that, but wider, I think that is what I would want.
