One more question about this bar...for anyone.. Could someone who is currently using the bar give me a sense of the forward reach for the hand position that is the curved & dropped area ....when the stem is moderately low to slammed? I know this would change depending on head tube angle ,, etc but we all ride similar bikes. I'm currently riding a 55 Appa and I'm on the lower end of the sizing spectrum for that bike. It's got 29x2.1 tires and it's both tall and long , for me. Not *too* tall or long but I wouldn't put a long stem on this bike unless I was bars that swept back generously. Currently, I'm running flared drops with one of those Analog 30mm quill stems. I'd like to know if the hand position on the bars where the curves that drop down would be too stretched out for me. thank you
