I don't think [MENTION=197614]fietsbob[/MENTION] was being disrespectful.

Many have their bars too low, get hand or wrist pain/numbness and blame the bars. It is quite common.

What used to be perfect saddle to bar drop for me in my 30's is now way too low for a man in his 50's. In such a case, "Sell it an get something realistic" is good advice.
