I love the big dummy.

I'm interested in the bar setup. Could you post more views of the bars when you have time? A cockpit view would be awesome. I'm seriously considering getting a pair and your comment about liking the aero position they offer really piqued my interest. How comfortable are they if you hold them at the top rather than the traditional ends? Could you ride like that for a while comfortably? Is the hand/wrist position natural? Would cross levers at the top make it more convenient?
