I think it's more goodlocking to have the endplugs pointing horizontal! More ethtetic i think :) Even though it's not that comfy...

Here's how my Fuji Tiara WAS setup:

I say was because I switched to a different NOS Sakae Modolo bar that was barely 1cm wider, had a tad more reach and drop, and (the reason for my change) had cable grooves.

I SIMPLY HATE IT!

You look at the two bars and they're SO danged similar....the differences are visually tiny but I could feel the difference the mile of the first ride. So, I'm switching them back.

I was mentioning how comfortable I felt on the old (soon to be back) bars with RobbieTunes a while back. As compared to my modern bike I get 5 different and distinct positions that really DO feel different and get my back into a slightly different position:

The above worked out for me (and fortunately I still have the bars mounted to the stem so I'll have the angle to transfer) and I think the angle and drop of the bars looks visually pleasing too, at least to my eye.
