Thoughts on this?

Also I've been thinking of changing handlebars but can't decide if I want the comfort of flat bar or the edge of dropbar
Is their middle ground?

company has great logistics, they ship fast and package will. I would go with classic handlebars.

There's nothing 'comfortable' about flat bars because you have exactly ONE position for your hands. Go with drop bars and enjoy THREE positions for your hands.

I find 2 positions is sufficient. Idk why the mtb scene is anti bar end now.

They look dumb on 1500mm handlebars that are the standard now.

I think people are worried about bar hooking on trees and stuff, although if those hook your base bars probably would have too.
Might be uncomfortable with the wider bars the other anon mentioned too. That said anything is probably more comfortable than flats.

I think the wider bar trend is more dangerous than bar ends- I rock these 660s w/ the short bar ends for xc. Fuck tires over 2.5 also.

Most people hate bikes direct but you can get a decent bike for a good price there- beware they do sell some total shit BSOs. I bought one over 10 yrs ago and its still functional but antiquated.

this.

moustache bars are a good option. they can be set up with road levers in pic related, or with mtb levers. use bar end shifters or thumbies. give 2-3 positions.

bikes direct has ok deals for the most part, from slightly better than department tier BSOs to high end bikes and everything in between. They come mostly assembled but that doesn't mean they are ready to ride out of the box. You NEED to grease every thread, true/dish the wheels, tune the brakes/shifters, and adjust the fit. If you don't mind wrenching, they're a fantastic deal actually.
