John Philip, I really like your cockpit set up and may go a similar route on my vintage Schwinn Cimarron.
I could see the black knobbie gizmo's would offer a nice position variation for longer rides. What's the proper term for them? For longer rides varying my hand position frequently really helps to prevent numbness, aching hands, and keeping the blood flow going in my hands and arms. I also find standing up fairly often on the pedals and stretching the back and backside helps on rides of several hours as does moving my foot position on my platform pedals every so often. In summary changing position every so often on contact points of hands, feet, & rear is key for me on long rides. A great cockpit setup is so essential and this thread is most helpful as I have mostly used road bars in the past. All you folks have some very nice bikes and cockpit setups. Thanks for sharing.
