Unfortunately I don't do a lot of loaded touring, although I'd like to change that someday. This bar swap experiment was to see how much I'd like riding it for shorter lightweight trips. We're heading up to Yellow Springs Ohio (around 70ish miles) for Memorial Day weekend so that will be a good test. I plan to wrap the bends with the bar tape I had on the drops for an extra hand position. If I end up not liking this setup, I think the bars will end up on my daily commuter and I'll switch back to the drops.

Here's an action shot from the shakedown ride though.
