So I recently did a 2nd bike which is a frankenstein build and I bought some Ritchey Curve Logic bars on a suggestion here. They're certainly nice bars and assumed they were more "traditional" but now appear a little different to me.

I got very used to riding the black bike pic (pic1) and now feel like I'm missing something in the drops as it's like they're cut short.(pic2) (I wouldn't call this ergo, and I don't think the bend is necessarily 'compact' but....) I'm not sure if the shifters can go up a bit more without compromising the top/hood area or maybe my other bars are setup a little too downard rotated?? (I'm not opposed to buying another set of bars, just was really sold on these Curve Logics)

I'm trying to adapt to see if I can live with it. Opinions appreciated!
