• @buddha - I think, as Ed says, the bars are slightly over rotated so you might want to turn them up slightly. The levers can probably be moved up a bit but there is no right or wrong, just get them so you are comfortable. Check out pics of Sean Yates to see that some people rode them like that all the time.

    Are these Criterium bars or short drop Italian bars? I'll strip back the tape and play with the bar position and hood placement - I also have a shorter (not pantographed) stem - see if I can't find a more comfortable position
