I took a 25 mile ride with the set up and it didn't go as well as I hoped. The bars are just to narrow for my big hands. I thought about the bracket for the bag and the computer and I moved my hands to allow for it. That put my hands when on the flats twisted outward, which made it very uncomfortable.

When I got home I jumped on the Roubaix and it was like heaven. Any way I sent the handlebars back and I have the Nitto Classic Handlebar coming. I'm having a hard time getting handlebars to fit the stem I have. I was kicking around to get the Noodle bars, but that takes a 26.0 stem. I started to look for stems that would fit the Noodle bars, but couldn't get the degrees of angle I need. The stem I have on there now has a pretty good angle, but I don't know what it is. It's angled pretty good and I still have about a 1" drop. Anyway I'm going to watch the race and cry.
