I just found my people

This is good, right?

Until 5 days ago I didn’t acknowledge bar related anxiety as legitimate.

I do now and visiting this thread every few hours tops my anxiety back up to optimum levels although I fear if any bike I have owned gets cited then the trauma may mean that I attain my final, winged form.

Thank you for providing this public service.

Yes it's perfect

Haha. I hope you cope

Happy to form a survivors group

I’m not sure I’m yet ready to stand up in (virtual) public and announce my problem

I feel like I’m teetering at the top of a very slippery slope (coefficient of slippery is as per a pair of crepe soled dessert boots on a damp marble floor) - if bars get sorted, what next?

You Marie Kondo the shit out of your bike collection

“The KonMari Method™ encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. Keep only those things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy.”

I thought I did this for over 40 years. And I was at peace. Now I don’t just doubt, I know the fallacy of my approach.

I must correct my process. Birch twigs, moonlight and woad may be required. And then, only then, will I consider flat bars and shifter orientation (don’t be giving me sweep, rise etc, small steps are the way to redemption).

Spirit level on the back not really pulling its weight

I fear that I know the answer yet I am oddly compelled to ask the question/s

If I'm beginning to get this the Cervelo looks ok...Maybe hoods up a little.
But what do i know

We need side view photos. If on a phone zoom in a bit and walk further away from the bike. This ways perspective place less of a role and photo isn't distorted.

Both look to be in need of BDHU tho. Cervelo might just need hu

Adjusting my Extralite stem scares me too much to risk rotating my bars the 0.4° I know they need in order to reach optical and spiritual harmony

I could not conceal by my lack of photographic chops, my fears are realised. An added bonus is that if I rotate the Cervelo bars I’ll have extra security when hanging my weekly shopping

He will end up blind messing about with lasers like that. It's all "pew pew pew" fun and games until someone burns their retina off

Even after bdhu, that hydro lever will still look like an elephant.

something's come up : I am building up a bmc team machine rime brake celebration with superzero compact-ish bars. A client for hhsrb i believe, but if i apply bdhu orthodoxy, i quickly reach and go over the "max" mark for lever clamps on the bars.

masters, please advise. picture to come.

The guy wrapping this handlebar should really reflect on his life choices

Ye gods, I think we've hit peak wank...
