How does my bike fit me?

@ heifzilla: they are called butterfly bars... just google them.

Probably can't use a gripshift with those, though?

I wanted to say that I think I have solved my hand numbness issue. I picked up a set of those butterfly bars (and only $15 at the lbs, score!) that papaver recommended, and what a difference. I love these bars! The moment I started riding with them I could feel the difference. My hands are light on the bars, my elbows bent and not poking outwards like they were, and I am not leaning into the bars anywhere the way I was. I had to jury rig the shifters and my ergon grips, and my brake levers are on the outside far side of the bars because they wouldn't fit with my grips and shifters, which is not great. So I ordered some dual shifters so I will have enough room for my shifters, brakes and grips where I want them. Right now the bars kind of look like a hack job, but I'm not going for The Look, I am going for comfort so I will enjoy riding my bike. Once I get the new shifters, that will take care of that. So again, thanks to everyone who came up with suggestions and tips. I really do appreciate it.
