True.
That photo was from maybe the fourth or fifth outing for that bike.
Still experimenting.
Still tweaking height and position for comfort.
That saddle height wasn't comfortable for certain.
FWIW, even though they're comfortable for cruising, I've found it more difficult to skid stop with narrow risers because I can't shift my weight around on the bike as well as I can with pursuit bars for example.
I have a track cockpit ready for when I'm comfortable enough to give it a try.

Try different setups (but don't go too skrtluv on it).
Listen to advice on the forum because you can't put a value on the experience and wealth of knowledge to be found here BUT don't take everything as gospel... some people are full of shit and not everyone rides in the same way.
