About 20- some years ago Proteus bicycles offered "Allrounder" bars as an option to replace drops on sport-touring bikes for those who liked a more upright position. Does anyone know if this was the intended purpose of the maker(s)?(To substitute for drops). Mick I vaguely remember you or someone may have listed them when in one thread where members were recalling the great variety in bars? Were these also used in England then. I don't see them offere today.
