That beauty is tempting me to flip my bike's semi-high rise handlebars upside down. Not sure how well it'll work, but I'd like to get the hand position about level with the saddle. Might make for easier rides in this wind. I've already lowered the stem about 3" but the hand position is still well above the saddle.

The bike turned out pretty well, and it felt great to be back in the saddle.
Here are a couple snapshots at our rest stop across the river from Saint Paul:
