What a difference a couple of changes make.
 
Swapped out my Ritchey WCS carbon bars for FSA Wing Pro compact. Increased my time in the drops by a lot and overall comfort was great. BTW I am 6'1" tall and the bars work great. Also installed Shimano FC-R700 crankset replacing my Truvativ Rouleur carbon set. Feels like a new bike.

i'm always amazed at how big a difference tiny changes can make to a bike. swap some bars, change the sadde tilt or height, swap tires - all kinds of minor details like that change the way a bike feels. I have the FSA bars and really like them too.

Seemingly minor changes are often significant changes. Hopefully for the better ;)

I ditched my FSA bars. Uncomfortable. Then I got Easton bars which were excellent but the 46 width was a bit much. I gave them away. Now I'm riding Deda Supernaturals, which are very good.
