Strengths: Stiff (I am 6'6" 200lbs)
Ergonomically pleasing (mine has the ergo drop so you don't need shims)Weaknesses: The markings for centering the stem on the bar were printed about 6mm off center. I didn't realize this until I had it mounted, taped, and ready to go. I only realized this when I started riding. I simply moved it over a little in the stem and it functions fine. However it looks ridiculous, as if I mounted it off center. Since I already had it installed and I bought it mail-order, I never took the time to remedy this.Bottom Line: Nice stiff bar. Not super-light (mine weighs 280g). Good for big riders. I was very disappointed with the problem I had (described above). I had the opportunity to look at another pair in my local bike shop and IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! If you get one of these, buy it from your local bike shop and bring a tape measure with you to check the position of the stem markings.

Strengths: BIG bar! (44cm deep drop) Long reach to go with the deep drop. Stiff, but good vibration damping. Good price.Weaknesses: It bent when a truck hit me @ 25 mph. (but then again, so did my frame, fork and shoulder)Bottom Line: If you're a big boy, buy this bar. It fits me (6'3", too many lbs) great, it's stiff and strong, and it's American made.
