I recently inherited an older MTN bike. I don't know a lot about it, make, model, serial number, etc... (someone hand painted the frame orange) I've taken it to my LBS and they are looking it over right now to tell me what all needs to be fixed to make it fit to ride.

However, it has some crazy looking Scott handlebars on it. They're D shaped, curvy, ergonomic looking things. I wish I could get a pic, but my digicam is on the fritz.

I know that handlebars, like saddles are personal preference - but, does anyone use these for MTN biking? Do you like/dislike them? Should I try them out? Toss them? Comments? Tips? Suggestions???

Thanks!
