Hi Garth, I apologize, my post must have been as clear as mud. I'm not asking for handlebar recommendations. And I certainly don't want to be told what to do. I sincerely apologize if my post was offensive.
Right now I'm super happy with my Albatross bars & 12cm Nitto NP stem. I'm just trying to understand, if there is anything to understand, why the Hunqapillar. According to Grant, the Bombadil was actually a little bit different that the Hunq, having a taller head tube.
