Holly,

Glad I could be of help! If you get the Salsa Poco bars you'll have to let me know how you like them. Give yourself a few rides to get used to them before making up your mind. The first couple, I wasn't so sure since I was used to my Terry t-bars, but now I love my Pocos and wouldn't go back.

One other note, my LBS had installed the bars so that the ends of the drops were slanted downwards somewhat rather than straight across at the bottom. Some riders prefer the slant, because it brings the brake hoods closer to you up top, but I hated it since I felt like I was sliding right off the drops when I used them, and it caused my wrists to be cocked back at an uncomfortable angle. I rotated them back so that the drops are parallel to the ground, and now the bars are just perfect for me. If your brake hoods are too long a reach when you do that, they can be repositioned farther up, but you have to remove the handlebar tape. Fortunately mine were fine without having to go to that trouble.

Good luck and keep us posted!
