Hi Dirk, Well that seems a pretty basic idea, but one I thought had been tried and found ineffective.....can't remember anyone mentioning it before. Have you had any experience with this? I guess you would have to have long handlebars to counter the BB to pivot leverage. It is nice to have some handgrips anyway so you don't feel like those Irish dancers, not knowing what to do with your arms!! Can you give me any specifics about design? Cheers Howard
