Right you are!

Actually the bars on Andrew's Specialized are too, and they've got a really short reach and stem to boot! Think I was just expecting to see those in the majority rather than the minority for some reason.

Will be putting something similar on my own road machine later this summer. Its a big change from the bars on my '88 Miyata but so's the rest of the bike and test drives at the shop have pretty much convinced me that a compact bar and brifters work well together.
