Velo Vol 

So I went to area velocipede shoppe and checked on my bike. Unfortunately, the mechanic was not in. But I did see the bike and the white encrusted bars. They've got a lot of encrustment on them, but I think much of it can be cleaned off.

The bars he put on are indeed ones with flat tops. I've never ridden with anything other than round. Are they indeed more comfortable? Put differently (I can't remember if anyone said this), has anyone tried them and not liked them? I could have him take them off, since we didn't discuss this before he did it.
