I didn't think anyone had actually tried it! You run this all the time?
I don't use those bars all of the time. Right now I have regular bullhorns on that bike (which is out of commission anyway). I plan on replacing the stem and using those bars on my group buy frame.
wow. 30 cm wide drops.
that can't be comfortable for more than 2 minutes at a time
Maybe, but those 2 minutes are damn sweet. If you think that looks uncomfortable, you should see where my saddle was relative to those drops.
I change my hand position pretty often, especially while riding in traffic. Hence, I like having bars with lots of options. This was one of my favorite bar setups.
