bar ends?

[Cataboo]

I got the 490 mm as well. I've got a 130 cm 16% stem on it or something - my surly's top tube's a bit (quite) too short for me. I've got 2 road bikes, so I already have 2 bikes with drops that I can ride more aggressively - basically I wanted a more comfortable riding position on the surly, but still wanted to be upright because it is my commuter bike or my riding a gravel towpath or something like that bike.

I may eventually try flipping them over, but we're trying this for now. I initially put them on the bike flipped like Sarah did, and got on the trainer a few times and just didn't like the position.

It looks a bit cooler how Sarahspins has it, I think.

That's with them flipped over when I was trying out that position to begin with.

The bars are naked, so it might be easier to see the shape.

To tie this back into bar ends - this is what I replaced on the surly - riser bars + bar ends. Mostly I think the bars were just too wide.
