Very nice! I don't regret my final handlebar choice that I and my LBS debated - but I do like the looks of the Sparrow bars - they were more concerned that I was about the room on the bars for assorted things plus room for my hands and I decided to listen, especially after seeing the website for the Soma Sparrow also referred to this...so we settled on 2-inch risers + Titec L-bend bar-ends.

nsandz - I am looking forward to hearing what you decide. Don't let my concern about the width of the Trekking bars worry you, I am very new to all of this They are a very attractive option for touring, and I am told the wider bars provide more stability.

What kind of shifters do you currently have?
