Has anyone used these? I am curious about the feel of the "finger slots".
I'd also be curious about wrapping them with all those lumps and bumps :)

Subject: [OBRA Chat] The perfect handlebar?

I've looked everywhere for a handlebar that's comfortable. I have a lot of
drop between my saddle and bars, which means 99% of ergo bars are useless on
the angled section when I get the tops set up right for my Campy shifters.
What I really want is a bar where the tops and tails are parallel, and the
angled drop is at about a 45 degree angle or a little under. Finally,
Easton comes to the rescue:

But they're nearly $300! Is is that hard to get this kind of shape on an
alloy bar? Anyone have any suggestions?
