Eurobike day 2

Yesterday, I wrote a review regarding the very short Flatware Thumb Tack grips which only had an effective grip area of 95mm (in American terms thats 3 and something inches).
Well from the replies I read, it begged the question has Flatware found its market niche?
I have always liked Odyssey parts and in the past 10 or so years Odyssey have really stepped up the game through inovative design,...
