I align with [MENTION=190941]jimmuller[/MENTION]. It is at best a compromize with period parts. I like the flats such that they don't caue me to bend my wrist unnaturally, or nearly perpendicular to my arm when I am on them. Adjusting the leverst to having the ends near the same level as the flats works. But for me it is often more like the centerline of the bar of the flats. This is close to what I am happy with
