It's really made a difference to my comfort level and the ride is much nicer. I've decided to leave the stock bars on the new road bike which is coming in next week to see how that goes before I make a decision as I figure I should at least give it a chance. But now I know that 36cm bars work for me.

Thanks again.


P.S. Thanks also to Indysteel for your response on another thread to do with rust in one of my steel frames. Your views consolidated my own concern and I took it to my bike shop. It wasn't a major problem but there was a tiny hole in one of the welded areas where the tubes join near the bottom bracket and that was letting moisture in. It's now been sealed.
Thats exactly what I did bought the Modolo Venus put it on my old bike. Liked them so much I put them on my Serotta. Glad the smaller bars are working for you.
