Thanks for sharing the riding impression, from a year's experiences. I rode M'bars for over a decade, and was used to the brakes "way out there" I'm thinking on the wider, flatter, and closer A'stache (A'bars?), I'm going to bring the brakes back from the front tangent point, for easier reach while in the relaxed position. I'll get a fresh pair of interrupeurs, just to play with, but think they could work well on the straight section of the A'bars between the first and second curves from the stem. We'll see, and as to weight... heck, this new frame already has a diagatube, a front wide-body SON, top bag rack, low-rider racks, AND a boat-anchor Rohloff hub... :--)
