Yes... I only remember I had no control going downhill as too narrow and too much back sweep (for me). For commuting only they would have been very nice (were on a friends bike i borrowed for a week).

I know it is probably the angle of the photo but my eye is offended every time I look at the build of that front wheel :???:
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Yer because they're so much weirder than all the other weird bars everyone round here rides.
