Ted, Ha! I know I’m disappointing. I was hoping someone less disappointing than me would have real numbers, as Rivendell declined to provide them. I hope I get the new bars in time to bring to the shop while they work on my bike. Otherwise, I suppose I can do it, but yuck. Well, regardless,

One word review from first full ride on all surfaces: Solid. More word review: Each gear feels closer to the solidity of fixed gear or single speed, I presume because of the combo of 9 speed chain and steel cogs. Interestingly, this gives a wider range of comfort for each gear. With the 11

That's good to hear Mark. I wasn't a fan of the Bosco bars on my Clem H. Not sure why but they just seemed too upright and too swept back. And, I had to what seemed to me over-tighten the bar clamp to keep the bars from slipping. I think they just have so much leverage, a two bolt clamp might
