I don't understand this point.....if the bars sweep backward towards the rider then wouldn't you want a slightly longer stem to compensate ? All of your other points only seem to reinforce my positive image of the bars....
Got any pics of the bars on your bike ?
Just curious......most likely will pull the trigger on a set of Sobas once the financial carnage from the holidays settles....
