...whats your response to flat bars being disliked because hands go numb and/or ache due to only one position?
I know you didn't ask me, but my response is swept bars. I don't think changing positions is as important as having (at least) one position that's comfortable from the git-go.
I notice the discomfort of riding flat bars after less than a couple blocks.
