I'm part way through the cockpit changeover, with the 200mm Bullmoose bars and brake levers in place, but no cables yet. I rode around the neighborhood today, nudging the bars up & down, brakes in & out (fixed gear, so easy to slow down). A few observations: The bars are really wide, wider than I need, too wide even for carrying the bike through doorways in the house. I will remove an even inch from the sides. The brakes are pretty good mounted with about an inch gap between clamp and bar struts - just enough room to comfortably rest the sides of my thumbs along the outsides of the struts while still able to brake with my outer fingers. And I can move my hands all along the bars, yet still have good variety of placement to brake with trigger and middle fingers. A couple layers of bar tape will be perfect. And the bars are very comfortable at even just an inch and a half raised in the steerer tube, which puts them about same amount higher than the nose of the saddle. The bars make an easy path across my palms, I think they're going to be great.
