No malicious intent taken fabrik8r. It's all good.

Now, onward to find the right Buckhorn bars for the winter project.

Look at the WO508's Chubby's. They have quite a bit of pullback too.

I like the WO518's for that "low, wide, relaxed" feeling

I get more than several 5 to 6 hours trips in a year. It's kind of like, no matter what, that's a long time on a bike, or a cage, at least for me. I suppose being 'relaxed' is something I'd try to avoid. I think these kinds of things, discomforts, can do harm to the body/joints long term, I'm already feeling something different in my left elbow. My butt burning and hurting is another issue to be addressed. A gel insert and having the seat shaved helped a wee bit, but didn't solve anything after the 1st hour and 20 minutes or so. That's a different thread a suppose.
