Personally, I wish the Albastache bars had been made available with a mtb lever compatibility option (like an Albatross). I've long wished the Alba's had less rise. The shapes are similar ... but a 'stache that takes an mtb lever would provide an option with half the rise (or drop if you chose to flip it). That's kind of what the Choco-whatever looks like ... and kind of what the VO Porteur looks like (they're all within a few mm's either way). But the VO's don't take mtb levers and bar-ends and the Albatross's are a 5mm rise ... So that Choco-thing looks better and better all the time -- but I don't recall anyone specifically confirming that it will take a bar-end shifter pod, yet.
