Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

For which those bars are a fail, are they not?

depend on the tour you're doing.

I bow to your superior experience of touring Ed but surely test riding a bike for a day (did you test ride it all day or just have a little go on it) doesn't fully represent it's aptitude for touring. For me, touring = days (plural) in the saddle.

I'm kinda doing research on which bike to go for the 2012 tour of South America actually.
