After getting use to the 700mm handlebar of the Toughroad and even allowing for me effectively using my handlebars as a 680mm, due to pushing in the grips, 580mm sounds unimaginably short for me these days.

Plus I find I need a decent amount of room for my light mount and computer mount and bell.

I think my long term handlebar will end up being a 660mm Jones H-Bar Loop.
