Stem is standard one. The bar do move shifter/ brakes closer but I'm generally only covering them in traffic anyway and sitting a bit more upright I don't regard as a problem. Mostly ride on the ends, it gives about the same position as the ergon bar ends I had on the flat bars but comfier with my XL hands. Front position good in a breeze (or peddling on a mission), bit more tucked up, I can rest my forearms on the rear part as well in a sort of tri-bar type way.
Cost around £17 from lbs (+bar tape). Grips are cut down originals
They ain't pretty but I like 'em.

Thank you - just seen it... (you others: fancy looking before I got to peek)

I really must bite the bullet on this and try it - though probably on the other bike first. I would probably get the LBS to do it though. I have cut down the width of my standard bars as I found them very wide.

OMG! I just realised, I have a hybrid with butterfly bars and Bonj hasn't commented on it! (yet)

Patience, child

But a hybrid probably isn't a serious bike that a serious cyclist would be seen riding so it may not be too important that it has butterfly bars.

Now that summerdays has seen it I thinkhope it safe to peek now .
