Thanks, and the grips are actually also place holders.
My father has arthritis in his hands and as such is quite fussy about what grips he likes. He used to acutally use those Ergons, but realised they were causing him discomfort, so I got him some extra thick ESIs which he is a complete convert to.
He has a set on my old MTB, which this bike is replacing, so I didnt see much point in buying more - I'll just transfer them over. His old ergons, being lock-on were, ideal place holders till I can make the swap.

Lovely bike.
You might be already all over this, but one thing that I found using those bars with similar grips is that the grips effectively increase the sweep on the bars and made them too swept to be comfy for me. Changed back to esi grips and liked then much better.
