Thanks. It's a Nashbar bar and actually has a slight rise to it(~1"). I was on the fence about adding ergo grips but decided to just try the foam knowing I could always cut it off. Turns out the foam is really comfortable. It's a bit longer than standard drop bar foam and I waited awhile to receive it as it was literally shipped on a slow boat from China.

Here's mine with twist grips.
As I'm cruising along I place my hands fully open with fingers extended and flat with the heel of my palms on the back outside curve and fingers on the front. That's a position you can't get with any other bar and is very comfortable for me.
