Finally, a fad where I was trendy before it got outdated!
I ran some 650mm bars back in 2007-2008, so much more comfy than any drops I had tried. Currently on 46cm Salsa Woodchippers, which are OK but nowhere near as comfy as the 800mm on my MTBs. After some time on the bike, I always get some pain in my wrists/elbows with every drop bar I've ridden.
