I'm using the Crust X Nitto Shaka bar on my 62cm Sam Hillborne. So far this is a great set up. I've had Albatross bars, Albastache bars, Noodles, Salsa Wood Chipper bars and not the Shaka's. I had a super long stem on the Albatross bars. 13 cm to be exact when I switched to drop bars I shortened up the stem quite a bit. I've had a 5 cm stem when I had the Wood Chipper bar and now a 6cm Nitto Faceplater with the Shaka's. Keep in mind the 62 Sam has a long top tube!
I mostly wanted the Shaka bars to have the wide enough to fit a small Ron's Bikes chest bag. I like this set up so far!
