WOW!! GREAT feedback, and thank you for the compliments (all due Rivendell).
@ Patrick - Yea, I tried Noodles off road too, and felt a bit the same. I think because they are a more "traditional" shape, I ran into the same width vs. reach issue. I know one reason the set up on the cross bike is favorable is due to the modern ergo shaped bars and Rival shifters creating a nice big flat section which is where I spend the lions share of time. I'll only use the tops in flat sections, and the drops while climbing steep technical. However, a buddy of mine who is a FAR better cross rider swears by the interrupter levers. I have a set in a box so I might add them to the mix. I'll look at the midge too! @ Ryan - Thanks for the offer! A buddy of mine here in Denver emailed me that he had some woodchippers I could use to check them out. I'm hoping to get a look at them this weekend. Thanks on the color nod! It's a wild pearly, metallicy, acid yellowy green. Not being the original owner, I have no clue what it's called but it's certainly a color of...purpose. @ David - I think my buddy's Woodchippers are 46'ers? I'm a bit worried about the flare. Since I generally like to be on the hoods, it seems like a far reach down to the shifters AND to have them sticking out in the breeze to hit the treeze. Problem?? @ BobbyB - LOL!! BOSS BABY BOSS!! @ Keith - Holy crap that Ibis is insane. What a fun looking attack vehicle. I like the idea of the shallow drop and forward bend. I was a bit concerned that the way the WC flares out that it sort of rendered the tops of the hood unusable, but the profile shot looks to be ok? On a color note...do the green Brooks "patina" the um backside any more than a black or brown model? I'll assume they're dyed and sealed the same?
