We're on an 01 Cannondale MT800.
We're about the same size so the stoker needs some riser bars due to captain saddle height. I think I'm going to do a BMX-style bar in the rear like the Surly Sunrise but we're going to do some measuring this weekend and see how that works.
I'm thinking about maybe going to a shorter stem or a different bar shape. Any captains out there run a bar with a decent amount of sweep?
So far we mostly ride gravel on this thing but we may try some modest singletrack if we continue on the path we're on. I'm wondering what you all use for bars and how it factors into your control on traction-challenged surfaces.
