i've realize now i've created the same sort of H-bars with Bullmoose bars and mtn bar-ends slid down towards the middle (and covered in cork - my submission for the cork postcard).
you can also reverse the direction of the bar ends, move them, etc., so that give you more options, e.g. more narrow and forward gives you a aero tuck almost, if you want it. wider gives you a comfy shoulder rotation from flat bar. prob work better on a narrower 150cm bullmoose (earlier). but they really aren't as large as they first appear. i'm also a +1 for mustache bars. i used reverse bar-end brakes with m-bars on my Rom, but added dummy lever stubs for the "hoods" position to keep the hand positions open. best, andrew On May 17, 2011, at 5:56 PM, Montclair BobbyB wrote: > Titec H Bars... natural hand position with multiple hand placement > options... love em, especially with mountain brifters > > On May 17, 7:03 pm, Frankwurst <fbr...@jwperry.com> wrote: >> M bars it seems are either love or hate.
