This poll is in reference to my Cannondale SE2000 build located here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 59#1164459
I thought the poll would be attached to my build thread. Oops.

Should I change the orientation of my Hyperlite bars so the print is readable when looking at the bike from the front and not from the cockpit?

If you fit them backwards , won't the sweep be incorrect ? , think they are a 3 degree sweep , may look very odd, can't see any issues though

Nope, flip them end to end and you'll still have the same 3 degree back sweep.

Won't the writing be upside down then ?

Yes, the writing will be upside down depending on how you're looking at the bars. Wasn't that the whole point of the poll -- to find out if the writing should be right-side up from the cockpit or looking at the bars from in front of the bike? :? ;)

Yep. :)

Little stuff like that bugs me, so I wanted everyone's opinion/advice.

My advise is a) polish the writing off all together or
b) sell thEm and buy another set
