Daniel, bars are personal, everyone has there preferences and i cant speak for Albastaches, But I can for Albatross and for me, they are just about the perfect mixed surface touring bar, good for 100 mile days without even thinking about it.Ive tried drops, never could get comfy. This is why I like Albas, they let you sit high and really see around you a bit more. As for hand positions theres a solid 3 or 4 for me, and also I set the bars at saddle height or a little higher and this takes pressure off hands/ wrists and Im not really wanting to move my hands around all the time. I say give them a shot! you might love them or decide theyre not really your thing. Gooood luck, -Mike
