Looks great, Tom. Intriguing about the hand positions. I have a hard time 
imagining how you get more hand positions, could you tell me more?

With abandon,
Patrick

 Hope you are all getting in rides.

Hope you like the new set up Tom. I enjoyed the same setup all summer on my 
650B trek a but just disassembled it to go to noodles.  It's a great looking 
cockpit IMO.

Hi Patrick,

There are a continuum of of possibilities for hand positions in the 
standard or inverted configurations.  I was not using them in the standard 
configuration.  I organized things so that being on the grips was optimal 
for me.  Moving out to the hooks made me too far and too low at the same 
time.  Inverting the bars, and raising the stem so I still had my good grip 
position put the hook position in a much more comfortable place.  Between 
the grips and the hooks is now more comfortable.  It's probably just me.  I 
would not prescribe it or preach it to the rest of our folks, but it is 
something to try.  And it does present a different ascetic approach to bars.

Take care and blessings,

Tom
