Anyone else convinced or converted by them? Been mostly using marys the last few months and have just finished building a bike with a regular riser. It feels weird and not in a nice way. :? Think I'll have to look around for another set of sweepy bars.

I've been using the cheap and cheerfull Zoom wiggly bars on my Surly for a few years. I think the're greeeeeat! I will stick with them on the single cos they are really comfy. Also the position can be dialled in exactley, smart for someone with back problems. And only 15 nicker!!
I never use them on a geared bike though! not sure why. :?
Al. not tony the tiger!!

I use a set of ITM allrounders on one of my bikes. Lovely, and very similar.
But I think for comfort and all day riding, the best thing going is the Nitto Moustache, with the north road shape mounted upside down following a close second. I really think your wrists should face inwards when you're pedalling, and they allow that while giving you a bit more uprightness and control than the hoods of a drop.
The moustache bar is quite expensive now, it seems to have been discovered by the fixie crowd which has put up prices but new north road bars are only £11.
