Yes they are. I rode 44 miles on them today. I'm going to tilt them down a tiny bit from what you see in the picture to give a little more room for hand positions. Very nifty bars.

SB--I got the short and shallows on my new bike and LOVE them. I'm wishing I had them on my old bike. It looks like the Poco is even shorter. You must have really tiny hands! I did not have to shim my levers or anything and love that I can easily reach the thumb shifter from the drops.
The thing I really noticed about them is that they seem to guide my hand a little differently (in a good way). I used to have to consciously think about keeping my wrists straight but didn't even think about it on my ride today.

I have short stubby fingers.
So that really effects my reach to the levers in the drops. On the old bars, it pretty much eliminated it. I'm having to retrain my brain now that I'm can brake from there.

Oooh that is pretty. I love orange. My mountain bike is orange and it makes me smile just looking at it. Love the bars - I have those same shims on my Trek road bike and they work really well.
Happy riding.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

you may know this, but let me pass it on anyway -- a little GREASE LIGHTENING gently rubbed on your tape and then wiped off will restore your dirty tape to sparkling clean!
