I am doing my second 4000+ mile tour now on a 120 lb bike. My bars are off a1973 CCM with grips off my 1974 Raleigh. I would not use anything else. They are a better narrower 48 to 50cm width. New ones are mostly 54.They are called comfort bars for a good reason. I have complete control of my levers. ONLY 1 hand position??? Get serious noglider.

I was just on the 84 highway doing 15 or 16 mph with just the freeway wind, when it was bloody hot yet. I put my hand on the bend lots, never taped ever.
My hands still get numb some, especially when gripping harder up hills. Still far better than mtb broom handles. Jones bars look rather monstrous to me. Yah, I hardly see anything but drops in NA.
