drawbacks - limited hand positions (yes plural, 1 - on the bars and if you dont have a light on the bars, 2 - in where the drop meets stem *i like this position*)
pluses - a great all around bar but not too fav for the long runs. control (for some reason i feel i have the best control with risers). aestetically pleasing(on some bikes) if that matters to you

these are mine and they are pretty short but just right
