Yeah you're right - had another look & noticed that - ended up ordering the Geoff as they were still cheap (and the obligatory half dozen inner tubes & some wild socks) wider = betterer right? Plus there'll be bells / lights etc. etc hanging off it so more space for bar furniture might be handy and the backswept bits aren't too useful for lights
Now I need a bar bag to fill with enough snacks to appease an angry 2 year old who thinks a nice cycle through the countryside is a load of horse-shit (She can get into the rucksack & demolish all the good stuff before I even notice ...)

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.
