I have the mustache bars on my Quickbeam. My biggest mistake with them was to have them to far away. A nice stretched out ride in the hooks but due to the short backward reach I was always putting to much pressure on me hands for all day tours when sitting up. I love the feel up on in the hooks but the end of bar feel has been difficult to find a happy place for me. I have raised the bar now and installed a dirt drop stem to shorten the reach. Feels better sitting up but doesn't feel "as" good when climbing or in the hooks. Overall I like them and will keep them on this bike for a while longer.
