I tried riding with swept back bars a couple inches above the saddle, I bought into the idea that it would be "good for me". Hah hah .... not really. If it's not broken(I'm not) don't go about trying to fix it, or make it better. It was an exercise in futility. Upon going back to drop bars well below the saddle, oh how sweet it is. Lots of hand positions, all of them comfortable, and being low and stretched out is more natural to me than ever sitting up on a bike.
