FWIW... I'm pretty happy with my Biomax bars, too (just didn't realize they came in 26 mm), but after over a year, I still can't decide whether I like the shallow drop or not. They're great for riding comfortably in the drops on the flats. But I can't get into as deep a tuck on descents, and I miss that. It's definitely a good news/bad news sort of thing.
