Please let me clarify my earlier comment. I have tried several different
bicycle mirror systems, including the one in the bike pic you are referring
to. I have not found a bicycle handlebar-mount mirror which does not
severely distort. I am going to check out motorcycle mirrors. They are of
course more $ and heavier than the typical bike mirrors, but I have not
found a bicycle mirror that I could stand to use for long.
The cheap junk mirror in the pic has been in the trash can for some weeks. I
am thinking of sending it back to China.
