New bars installed on commuting/touring bike.

I'm being coy - I recognise the jersey as being remarkably similar to one in my wardrobe at home. Funny enough I don't remember much about that day... although the pain is just about a distant memory now...

I can only see those bars causing wrist pain due to the unnatural position, they are also likely to interfere with your knees when turning.

The bars miss my knees by over a foot!
Very natural wrist position.

I'm pleased to hear that you are suited to your new bar set up, they are a little different, I was completely wrong.

Impression after first ride. I love them......
They replaced straight bars which had too much of a tiller effect when going slow uphill - I meandered all over the place. Now I don't.
They bring my hands closer to me, so I'm a little more upright and less bent over. I like this.
Main hand position i.e. holding the grips, feels entirely natural: the Rohloff twist grip is very easy to operate and the brake levers are within easy and instinctive reach. No wrist pain.
There's no knee contact.
Lots of alternative hand positions and space to put lights and other gadgets.
I may have just found my perfect position.

They look coolio to me.
