That is super.
BTW- the reason I really paid attention to the post was the trekking bars... They are pretty popular in Europe, aren't they... not quite so much in the US...
I appreciate it.
Butterfly bars used to be pretty popular here on trekking bikes. nowadays I'd say most come with flat bars and bar ends but you still see them on new bikes from time to time. Take a look at
this Dutch thread
We do see the influence of drop bar touring bikes here as younger tourers often use gravel bikes.
