Well, my hands and wrists finally got fed up with the mustache bars. Found myself always riding in the curves since no other position, especially the ends were comfortable. Used to love 'em, but lately they are just kinda a drag. Probably started noticing it after putting the Jone's bars on my 1x1.
I've never loved traditional drops, so thought might give these a try. Ozone ordered me up a pair and they came in an astounding 3 days! Pretty awesome. Those guys rock! Vitus, the owner, is even trying to get me to go out on the Greenbelt with some of the Kona demo bikes. 4" of travel and gears, I wouldn't know what to do. Gotta take him up on it though. Will the dark side win me over? Doubt it cause anyone who seen my bikes know cleaning and wrenching often takes a back seat. Prefer the single gear where you can knock off the big mud chunks and just throw some more lube on the chain. Plus I'm too cheap for suspension.
Hopefully the heat and humidity wont bumb me out too much at 7:00 am tomorrow and I can test ride the bars on my way to work. Got a half mile ride in without tape to test the brake position. Felt damn good. Threw a dummy brake on there (with lever) cause I love riding on the hoods.

its working sweet for me, but then again i'm coming of a mustache bar. Hoods feel good. Top of the bar is a bit narrow, but it can be comfortable. my only complaint is the curve on the drops is narrow for my wide ass hands.
