Re: bars, I found the shifter position too far out for modern sti. I have a quick comparison between this and an FSA bar, both having a 80mm reach
USE summit
FSA k-force light
I ended up putting this on a fixed road with the shimano single speed lever (which have the older hood shape)
My experience:
- weigh 190g
- drop has a nice shape
- the dimples by the palms don't do much
- quite stiff (switching from 26mm bars)
- cable management is great for small frames (mine a 48cm with a 9cm head tube), where there tends to be quite a bit of cable bend for the front brake. The hole stops the cable from yanking the bar tape away.
- weigh 190g

I'm torn on this. Only £28, but point one you describe sounds like it's not worth it for the weight saving. How's the comfort factor? Significantly better?
Also, anyone tried the bars yet?
