the tilt of my upper body doesn't have an effect on my lower body. When I switch from drops to bullhorns, etc, I don't notice any difference w/ my knees. Such forward bars would hurt other body parts more so than it would the knees.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I just realized you are probably referring to the fact that it would be easy to bang one's knees on the bars in that position. I didn't think of that

Also, the angle of your upper body will affect what muscles are used when pedalling as it will change the angle of your hips.
But yes, the knee banging was the issue, but like I said I don't think it'd happen

^^nice!
i want to build a bike like that in the near future for campus commuting but with bar end shifters and gears. the addition of fenders was a good move.
