I put the Nashbar Trek bar on my mtb commuter. I like them. They are small diameter for my very large hands. I have been using a pair of wet kitchen towels to cushion the grip on the commute. One day I will find the right grip material to wrap the bars. I fear that nothing will permanently stay on in the heat, rain, humidity stress of South Florida summertime. 22 mile round trip plus 8.5 hours in the sun and obliterating downpours

These bars work for me. I think they were originally meant for touring bikes as an alternative to drop bars. They are great for the commuter.
