I have them and I'm a fan. They beat flip-and-clip road bars in my opinion. However, the shoulders (where the bar slopes down from the flat portion on top near the stem) is the least comfortable position without gloves and I only use it for cornering or resting my hands for a few moments. With gloves it's not much of a problem though. Just FYI. These and the Nitto drops are all you need for a bar collection, although I gotta say, for windy conditions there's nothing I like better than the old B-123/AA, nothing slices through headwinds better than riding those in the drops (nothing sprints better as well for that matter, just don't run them nekkid!).
