Thank you. I to was not sure i new i did not want straight, because i have had wrist problems with them before. I went for the comfort bars because i like feel like i am being stretched when i use drops. I also feel like I should be racing every where on drops, fine 20 years ago!!! Same reason I went for the pedals with SPD on one Side and normal on the other. Some times I don't want to get dressed up to just pop down to the shops, this is my every day transport as well as a long distance friend.
So far the comfort bars have been very comfy! The bar ends work well they extend the area that you can rest your hands and they don't point outwards because of the shape, they have a slight bend to them. They allow you to wrap your hand around them on the bar ends, i was not sure to start with but i do like them a lot now.
