Guys, you're missing the point. The OP is saying he's comfortable and likes the bars- i've ridden them and i liked them as well, so essentially you're telling us we're wrong for something we FEEL. Do you know how senseless it is to argue with that? Ever heard of the problem of Qualia? So what if your road bars work for you- good, you found a fit you like, don't bash someone for trying a handlebar you dislike and enjoying it though. Just because there's a trend going around doesn't mean there is a lack of validity behind it for some people.

And as far as my track vs road bike comment, maybe i should have said 'fixed gear'. I don't know how you guys ride them both the same though, maybe we use our bikes differently. I like to skid, i waste tires, i enjoy it- and to do all that, i bend my body certain ways and torque myself on the bike, i lean on or pull the bars different ways, a round bend can me more forgiving sometimes, that's not the original intent of the bar though- it's just found some comfort applied in other ways. But that's all my preference, why? Because i don't like the straight angle of the road bars. Should you care? Probably not, but seemingly its a big deal to everyone for somebody to be 'right'.
