A question

I actually prefer my bars turned downward too.. when in the "proper" position my wrists end up hurting a lot.

Its and age thing. Proportionally inverse to the square of age.

As the age goes up, so the bars come down (or back, or into some wierd, backswept and down dropbar construction)

PS, Frantik, I approve of your bar tape choice. Ive used that pattern since I can't remember when, but it was definately on my Mint Green Raleigh Montage in 1988, of which your DB looks alot like
