Thanks doppelkorn.
Does anyone else have any proper touring experience of other nitto / vo / etc bars? Obviously comfort is the main thing...
The trouble I'm having is basically that my frame doesn't fit very well: too small on the seat tube, too long on the top tube. It's an 80's Galaxy... I've searched and searched for something that would fit me better, but touring bikes all seem to have long top tubes (presumably for long wheelbase stability). The ones I've seen that have the right size seat tube just have even longer top tubes...
Anyway, I'm finding it hard to get a riding position that doesn't put too much weight on my wrists or stretch me out too much...
I've seen other tourists with wide riser / swept back bars and would like to know how people got on with them over long distances, etc.
