Thanks for suggesting the Jones bar; it does have its fans, and I had considered it along with other trekking bars (mustache, butterfly, bow-tie, etc). But since I knew I had no hand issues on my two drop-bar road bikes, I went with what has been working for me.

As far as the Jones LWB, have you read bikesnob's take on both the Jones LWB and SWB?

I completely respect you for going with what works for you!!

thanks for the link! Good read! I actually got a chance to test ride the SWB, the LWB and one of Jeff Jones’s custom titanium space frames built up as a single speed.

We were passing through Ashland on our way back from a business trip
