Yeah, the 'hoods' are fine for climbing but not comfy on the flat. I love the position and leverage of the midge bars, but normal drops are great for zipping about, and take up much less space in the house and locking up. Only thing is now even these 44cm bars feel very narrow, and almost as if the drops bend inwards! 80mm stem feels odd too but that's what was to hand.
@Chak thanks! It was a really nice route, unbelievably quiet and eerie. Shame about the ruined road for the second half... Road bikes need not apply

And now we're back home, I couldn't resist digging out some more brake levers and doing a bar swap. I think it'll stay like this for a while for bombing about unloaded, maybe try a longer stem too.
