Bars are here!
After a few test rides up and down my driveway and along the road in front of my house, I'm 99% sure I have the brakes/shifters where I want, so I went ahead and taped them up.. I will really get to test them out when DH gets home from work, but they already feel WAY better, both being narrower and putting my hands at a much more comfortable angle
My only disappointment is that my light blue tape is much lighter than I expected (I was expecting more of a medium-light blue, not pastel blue)... but tape is (relatively) cheap, I can replace it later if I want (and maybe do a better job of taping the bars, too!)
The tape isn't adhesive so I can pull it back gently and still get to the screws to tweak the angle of the brakes and shifters a bit if I need to... they are as far "up" the handlebars as they will go, since once the curve starts on the bars, they won't go any further.
