Hi all, its me again an I'm still going on about my handle bars (honestly - I do read and post about other things on this site!).
Brief catch up.... bought a Giant Defy (2011), have tried all sorts and cannot get comfy/happy using the drop bars (been a year +, and thousands of miles!) so am going to take the plunge and convert to a flat bar road bike ( as I nearly bought in the first place).
The obvious thing to do is convert to the Rapid's handlebar set up (The Rapid being the flat bar version of the Defy), but in doing so am i missing an opportunity to buy a better bar, stem et al in the first place?
Thought and recommendations please lol (again!)
with apologies to all those who have helped previously!!!
