David, I would say "No" to all-day riding with the Jitensha bar. It's not wide enough, nor does it have a grip area large enough to afford multiple hand positions, at least comfortable ones.
My recommendations for non-drop bars for hours of riding and multiple hand positions would be, in order: 1. Albatross. See this excellent video: https://youtu.be/pGokAt6XAi0 (I set up my Sam with extra long cork grips and moved the brake levers up as he suggests ... really nice!) 2. Wavie 3. Ahearne+Map If you're into more of a funky looking, but supremely comfortable and functional bar, then the Jones butted loop H-bar, which you can get in silver if that matters: https://www.jonesbikes.com/jones-h-bar-butted-loop-aluminum/ Tom On Monday, January 27, 2020 at 6:52:35 PM UTC-5, David B wrote: > > Out of nothing but curiosity, I put a Jitensha bar setup that was going to > go on my Yves Gomez on my Redwood instead.
