Upright bars. I’ve been riding flared dirt drops for decades, but swapped in Velo Orange Tourist bars to recover from my broken wrist.

I like them! I like that silver Ritchey Force stem, too.

I also tried-and-liked the Grant Petersen DIY wool grips. they feel great, look great, and wear well. They’re finished with used Velox tape for when I get up on the lever mount for climbing.
