Do you know what that is in USD? It's 48 cents. Anyway, I love them. LOVE THEM! I feel a little silly sitting all upright after years on drops and flat bars but, damn, they're nice. Oh, and I'm elderly. Did I mention that? And as you get old, your back starts to hurt and this helps a lot. I did the Grant Peterson cloth tape, twine, and amber shellac thing and added a brass universal sound bell and the bars look great! People actually stop me and ask me about them. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that if you weren't sure and wanted to try these out but didn't want to drop a wad of dough, you could look for the Zoom knock-offs. I would now spend the money on real Albatross bars, but I didn't know before. The end.

I got my wife the Nitto all-rounders, which are much smaller, but makes sense for her and her bike's size. I ended up with the Albatross bars and like them a lot.

Or better yet buy both and ride with them for a week and see how you feel with both =) I would go with the Nort Road, i’ve been thinking the same thing to change the handlebars on my bike.
