Grand - I think the Mike's are effectively the 31.8mm clamp version of the Mary, probably won;t make much difference if I go for them or the Geoff - the bar offer appears to have been extended, was supposed to end last night - that'll give me time to pick an assortment of lurid £3 socks to stock up on too...

They make Marys in 31.8mm. Mike is different in that its almost all backsweep. Marys sweep forward then back to allow you to run the same length stem as you would with a flat bar (hand position being roughly the same, albeit a different angle - In other words the reach should be about the same). To replicate a flat bar position with a Mike you'd need a longer stem. I'd imagine they're lighter too.

Nope but I've got a set of Mary's. Which are good and very similar. Mike looks nicer though.
