I generally hate drops. So, while looking around, I bought a used set of Midge bars and the guy threw in some Nitto B115's in 45cm. I tried the 115's and they work well. I still have to move around to stay comfortable - like on all drops - but I do stay comfortable. Also, the 115's have a classic look and they aren't very deep in the drop at only 5".

The drop grip section has a down angle of perhaps only 5 to 7 degrees. This allows me to have the hoods about level, instead of sloping down, away from me. At the same time, the drop grips remain pointed at the top of the rear tire, instead of the rear hub. Noodles are almost exactly the same except they have a slight rearward sweep in the straight section. Interesting, and popular.

The so-called ergo bend bars seem to be calibrated for more sportiv riders who like to flat-back alot. I can't stand the ones that came on my Sequoia Elite. This is a bike built as a recreational roadie. Fast, fun but not a competition type. Why did they put racing bars on the thing?? Musta had some lying around.
