and to further give you more opinions, I had a set of Jones H bars kicking around for years in my garage, taken off a bike and I hadnt really used them. This last summer I put them on my commuter so that I could live with them, and after spending months riding them and finding I really like the swept back hand angle (and using ergon grips too) I even put them on my fatbike this winter.
No, I havent toured on them or spent all day on them, but for slower riding and a more laid back feel, swept back bars are pretty cool.
I never would have known if I hadnt finally put them on a bike to actually live with over a reasonable amount of time.
Doesn't change my opinion that dropbars are the best for me touring, long days and day after day after day, but there's certainly a very good chance that these types of bars can be fantastic also for touring and general riding.
no right answer here is there?
