yeah i hear ya! I am cutting the bars down to maybe like 720mm. I used to do a lot of long rides on this with the drop bar setup, I’m putting flats/risers on with shorter rides in mind, but who knows, if I start doing long multi day trips again maybe I’ll swap for some more appropriate ‘alt-bar’ or put some of those funky SQlab inner bar ends on here or something. We’ll see how we go. I’m mostly just doing this to get me excited to ride again.

As long as this works, everything's fine!

I'd say give it try, before you cut the bars. And maybe tilt them up a bit to create a little bit of upwards sweep.
I have a set of 850 mm Stridsland bars, and they are so damn comfy, I wouldn't want them any narrower. And I am not excactly built like an orangutang.I think the added with also helps make up for the reduced reach when going from drops to flats.

The vibe is quite there, for sure! I don't know what is your fit goal, but it might look a little bit too wide/flat to be upright and comfortable for long rides. My 2c!
