Hi Dave, I strongly believe that part of what makes a bike beautiful is having it adjusted to your own personal riding needs, comfort, and preferences. I think it would be a shame for your wife to not have the handlebars she finds suitable for her riding style simply because they wouldn't have a certain 'look'. A bike is a marvelous personal machine, and tweaking that machine to perfectly serve one's own needs is true beauty. I say go for it, and the hell with fashion! :) Lisa
