The Ahearne Map handlebar is lovely, gorgeous actually, but too big.
The flat bar with thumbie shifters is working out for now, a bit too flat which is straining my wrists, but it's getting better. just not pretty.

Yes, women's core is in the hips and legs, so I see women having trouble with drop bars ALL THE TIME. I wonder why the women specific road bikes still push drop bars? Parts are getting better, more options, but still not stock on small women's bikes.
