I haven't moved on that thought yet though. What led you to remove them? Did you dislike them for some reason?
I actually really loved them!
they offer so many hand positions, and they are very comfortable. The only problem I had was that I do a lot of a city commuting and they are WIDE. I couldn't make the tight spaces on some streets or pass other cyclists very easily. I think they would be ideal for a touring rig though. I still may put them on my next project bike.
