Bikes: 2008 Novara Randonee - love it. Previous bikes:Motobecane Mirage, 1972 Moto Grand Jubilee (my fave), Jackson Rake 16, 1983 C'dale ST500.

Makes sense to me - bars rotated down, levers moved up. The drops look much more reasonable now and the levers won't require as much wrist deflection. There is so little (if any) truly straight section at the end of the bars that the line does not necessarily mean that the aforementioned rule was followed. Sometimes one just eyeballs the position by experience but it's best for the rider to test before wrapping. Also, isn't the normal cable routing for those bars underneath rather than in back?
