I want to sit upright and put this bar on my single-speed road bike. How will
it affect handling? I mean the hands will be behind the fork tube instead of
in front of it. Will it mess it the handling?
I find I like the Nitto Albatross a lot. A very swoopy version of the North Road. It won't mess up the handling and it will put your hands in a more natural position on the bars. If you want to go aero, put your hands on the bends and ride like you're riding on the drops. So you have more positions than on a flat bar.
