I actually raced with these bars in the early nineties (mainly because as a teenager I was a huge Lemond fan) but they had been in the spare parts bin for two decades. I decided to use them again because I wanted a platform for a GoPro camera as well as a place to mount the lights during long rides, because I want to keep the top of the bars free for my hands (especially while climbing I go "all over the the place"). Last summer, during my holiday in France, I fell in love with the bars again, appreciating the bend of the drops, the position of the brake levers (that's why I sourced a Scott Drop LF for my gravelbike) and - yes - going downhill I even tried and liked the extensions. They're not sexy but exactly what I need.
