goldfinch, take a minute and look at the photos in our traveler's gallery You will see several with "swept back" bars like the Nitto "albatross" also look at components-handlebars-upright - Upright is a bit of a misnomer for the category because I also want you to see the "upside down mounting" that Genevieve did on her Sam Hillborne (10th photo from the bottom of all the photos) as you can tell, that shortens her reach by quite a bit - a similar look to a moustache but not as stretched out.
