Thanks!

In regards to BianchiGirl above, correct me if I'm wrong but don't flat bars significantly reduce the reach for a given stem length compared to drop bar levers? Nevermind the fact that flat bar brakes are also higher compared to old school drop bar levers that sit considerably below level with the tops of a drop bar. And don't also flat bar levers provide quite a bit more leverage/squeezing power than drop levers?
