Great thread.
I have trekking bars, too. I do like them, but I can't say I love the angle of the outside part. I have mine "backwards," with the open end farthest forward, and I tend to swap positions between the far forward ends and the farther back flat spots.
I'd love more of a swept back handlebar that gives me the option of full, up-right, cruiser-style riding with another lower, more forward hand position for tucking in out of the wind. Does anyone find that they use their bars that way. A lot of the swept back bars that I really like the look of also look like they may only offer one hand position.
