Are you guys even looking at the pics? These bars have no flats on the drops. There's nowhere to take a straight line from.
...Actually, now I look real close there might be an inch. But IMO this always puts the levers really high; far from the middle of a useful range. Maybe levers used to be shorter or something? They certainly used to be a much different shape overall, with much shorter hoods.
