I guess the way I'm reading it is you want a narrow road position and a wider upright position. The general trend in backpacking has been to widen the bars and to include upsweep from the stem so that its a riser bar with a wide drop position, so that inverts what I perceive to be your preferred position, but this trend seems much easier from an engineering standpoint. I just got those Ride Farr bars: they are wide, but as they are short reach, with a shorter stem, they feel very natural, and nowhere near as wide as the widest bars out there nowadays. You could also go the Jones route, and ride in the "aero" position: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGwBvzvIhhs On Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at 10:48:51 AM UTC-5, Zack Medow wrote: > > Ok so for me the perfect road handlebar would allow me to run drop bar > break levers in the typical way for “endurance” riding, then with back > sweep to allow me to sit up and change my back angle.

Has anyone ever seen a bar like this? Is this a very stupid idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
