New Bars

Could replacing drops with upright bars with a graceful sweep make my whole body feel more relaxed and comfortable without sacrificing (what amounts to me as) performance?

Enthusiastically YES!

All that, plus wings for soaring.

VO Granola bars? After 20k miles on my Salsa Fargo with drop bars I changed to Jones Bend bars (not the loop version) and really like them. The Jones bars seem to work well with a bike with a short reach. Do we have to admit that maybe our age plays a role? Enjoy your Spring riding!

Yes, I love the Jones bar shape. I just put a loop bar on my Chumba hardtail. It was a big part of the motivation to try this. Does "old age play a role"? Let's call it "wisdom".
