I'm not a big fan of RBW's choices of handlebars. Very few bikes out there have grips that are close to parallel to the top-tube. Regular MTB bars with 9-15 degrees of sweep and up to about 40mm of rise work really well for me. The guys riding the Divide trail don't seem to have any problems with the limited hand positions people often attribute to MTB bars.
