Does anyone use these

I quite fancy the look of them for use on a touring bike.. shallow drop, easier access to levers ? But, I have only ever used "standard" drops, and worry that they will not suit...

Thanks

I find mine nice for riding, so long as there isn't a headwind. If there is, the shallow drop and width means that a wind-cheating riding position doesn't happen.
There's lots of space for crosstop levers, computers or whatever, still leaving plenty of hand space. The width may be awkward if you have to squeeze past the bike in a narrow hallway.
