Once you ride it a bit more let us know how they feel on the grooves and how they are wearing. More white is better! One thing is for sure, those tires are not ienxpensive...which is why I have never tried them.

How comfortable is the wrist angle on those bars?

They're perfectly comfortable for me. Like I've said, I designed these and provided the manufacturer with specs and a template that I bent up while sitting on the bike. Their 1st attempt didn't match the specs / template and had an extremely uncomfortable wrist position so, I made them re-do them.

I'm thinking the styling might have come from Latvia..

Like I told Ace, I'll take that as the highest compliment since Andre's bike is so nice but, I don't see the similarities and certainly didn't have his bike in mind when doing mine.

Nice classic look. How far have you gone without stopping with those new bars?

Probably a 1/2 hour of continuous seat time twice. I don't foresee any problems. They're in a very natural / neutral position.
