Hi emily_in_nc,

I really appreciate all the info. After posting that message and more surfing, I happened on the Salsa Poco bars and thought they might be my best bet. I remember trying Terry bars back in 2001 when I got my bike, and not finding them quite right but don't recall exactly why. I'll see what's new on the Terry site.

Also, I've been contemplating the Shimano ST-R600 short reach levers but wondering if they'd make that much difference. Right now, I have a velcro shim in my 105's, and in warm weather with light-weight gloves it's not too bad, but in winter with lobster gloves, it's a little scary. I think I'll try out the Poco's and spring for the short-reach while I'm at it.
