Comment on Wald 867 Handlebar Review by JDB September 25 2013

Hi there. Nice ride. I’m curious if you have a rule of thumb for converting road bikes with drop bars to swept bars like the ones here. Is it a given that upright bars should have much shorter reach in the cockpit? Is a good starting point for experimenting to use the same 10cm stem that the drops were mounted in? Would the approach change much if considering minimally swept flat bars closer to MTB style (or Soma Condorina, Jitensha/Nitto city bar, etc)? Thanks for any tips…
