Someone offered to send me photos of a Jones, so I'll take a look when he does.
A small rise won't hurt. I want to get my hands about an inch further back at the same level as the bar is now; at least, I think that's what I want, with the option of grabbing nearer the clamp for more reach and a slightly lower back. I agree that too much sweep is not good off road, tho' this bike won't be seeing much singletrack. I thought of the old "Arc" bar, and Soma's copy; but the Daija Far Bar is a narrowish "wide" flat flared drop that I might try, too. The present bar had more sweep until I knocked off 3 inches per side, now it doesn't come back far enough -- fix one thing, mess up another. Still, it's better than 76 cm, at least for me! I tried Surlys Open Bar on another bike, thinking it might give me a rearward grip with a more forward one at the curves, but I had to trim 2-3" off each side, and the result wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped.
