Here are a few shots of the Soma Clarence handlebar actually on my bike with stuff.  It should be noted that the grips I have here are Ergon grips which are actually a smidge longer than standard.  I think these are 140mm and the standard is 130mm.

This is on a 2011 Gary Fisher Cobia.  My first attempt was with the bar flipped over.  I found that this was too low.  I knew that just putting it in upright as a straight in replacement for the factory bar would be too high.  I flipped the stem over so that it's falling instead of rising.  That plus the rise in the Clarence seems to have put it exactly right.

When I purchased the Sparrow bar, the widest available was the 520mm.  Since then they've made a 560mm.  I did get my shifter/brake on there but not with a standard grip.  It was just too short to be comfortable.  I've also since then gotten a mountain bike, and I got the Clarence to go on that.  (Will post pics of bar on bike soon.)
