Bars are bars , how you choose to use them is infinite :) So is
the frame , infinite ways to set one up . So no one can fully answer your
question but you , *know thyself *!
Think about pictures of Sam frames or Alba bars . It seems most set
them up all similar ways on the surface, but really no 2 are even close to
alike . Weight distribution is something that rarely if ever gets talked
about . How you feel centered in the bike. It revolves around your core ,
if you take your hands off the bars briefly does it feel balanced
front-to-rear ? When it's "right" your arms and hands are extensions more
for guidance, not support. You can't really even put it into words, and
you can't tell anyone what is good for them , you can only make suggestions
if they ask for input because something doesn't feel right to them .
Just because a bar is mislabeled as "upright" does not mean that is
it's limitation. You can use mtb or reverse brake levers. Many different
shifters . Different angles, tapes , etc. Set the high or low, near or far
. Same with a given frame . Whatever works for you :)
