This setup is for a small trip next week, to Paris. I find that my body complains a bit much if I don't vary the grip, hence the bar. The bike is me on my peak Grant Petersen phase, I'm loving it.
Eventually I'd like to fit dirt drop stem and bars, with bar end shifters. It's likely to require significant investment, so this handlebar is a way of trying something different with the parts I already had. First ride was crazy different, feels positively luxurious to have that amount of hand room. Bike looks like a truck now!
