Beautiful bike, and nice application of these bars. OK - now, did you set up the M'bars high, and with a shorter stem? If so, are the porteur bars really that much more useful?
I ask only because sometimes folks set up mustache bars kind of like in this photo with Pineapple Bob: http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2008/04/29/xo-1-480-90-480-70.jpg Kind of like me and my Rawland: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25671...@n02/3683894914/ But....if you get 'em high enough, and use a shorter stem, they should be more comfortable, using current Riv metrics?
