From the beginning I was leaning toward the Velo Orange Milan bars. I liked the more neutral hand position. It's a commuting/utility bike, not a touring bike, so having a plethora of hand positions wasn't as important to me. I also wanted to keep my levers/shifters about where they are in relation to the stem so I didn't have to fiddle with finding a new stem length. With the Milan bars I realize my hands may be marginally closer, but the rise is about the same. I also realize the cables may continue to cast a shadow when I riding in the dark (about half my riding is after dark). I've been tolerating it on this bike for 4,500+ miles, so I imagine I should be able to continue to tolerate it.

A couple days ago I looked around on-line and found the Milan bars for $22 with free shipping and a 10% discount. I ordered them; total cost was $19.80. For less than $20, I figured I couldn't go wrong.
