I don't see the appeal of spending so much on handlebars. What's wrong with the inexpensive ones? They have the same bend.
I've been riding North Road bars on my Super Course commuter bike, but I think I'll prefer flat bars that make my palms face forward rather than facing each other. I've had to wrap my fingers around the brake levers to pedal hard, which indicates that flat bars would suit me better.

I'm talking about $14 at Niagara. What could be bad?

I know they're heat treated, but I'm not sure I'd call $60+tax+shipping reasonable.
They don't even give member discounts anymore.
