What won me over is it retains full use of the presta valve and allow you to screw down the valve completely with ease.

Do ergonovas have a flare outwards in the bend, like the fsa omega compacts do?

Dayam, I didn't see different angles of those Ergonovas before. Didn't realize the tops were so flat. What a sweet looking bar.
I have a bar in similar design, easily my favorite bar. The tops are so comfortable compared to all round bars.

Really would like to get some good 2.35 (or so) tires for my mountain bike soon...not sure which brand is best for Sun Valley, Idaho, type trails. Want grip not speed.

Kenda Nevegals are a solid all-around choice. Maxxis has a huge variety of tires that work in all conditions well too. Read up on what their intended conditions are, or check your local LBS and see what they ride.

Total impulse buy even though I have a perfectly fine silca superpista:
CNC SWAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
It was on sale at the LBS; priced down to that price of a alloy floor drive; still stung my free spending budget through.
Hopefully I'll have an additional cyclng hairloom to pass down.

Well microshift is a new-comer in the scene and as far as performance and quality comes, it's promising. Some teams are running it. You should check it out.

I bought a lot of used stuff and only one new thing-
I think I have a problem. In the last week I've spent a little more than $600 and either picked up or had all this shipped to me.

in no particular order:
surly steamroller frameset with blue ano Chris King nothreadset.
Nishiki custom with lower end (shimano light action components)
thompson threadless and 3ttt quill stems
Bright as crap blinky rear light. (turbo!)
Shimano 105 aero levers.
1982 pro-miyata with suntour superbe components still sporting the original pump and bottle, a crazy old school computer, a second set of DuraAce AX hubbed tubular wheels and a backup pair of tubular tires.
All told- 2 complete bikes, a set of wheels, an extra set of tubular tires, a pair of aero levers, a frameset, two stems, and a blinky ass light.
Holy hell. This is bad.
