bram bars are nice. if you're a taller guy like me (5'11") you would want to go for an 8" rise though. the bram bars are 7" and i feel the telltale back aches of lower bars. however, i'm not complaining, i have what i have, and they're much nicer than what i did have. the cube bars look really nice too. i think they have upsweep? not sure, but i don't like the idea of upsweep with no backsweep, sounds like a recipe for sore forearms (sorearms). .
