I use the Alba bar on two bikes and find it just right , for me. I considered a Bosco to try, but realized it is much further swept back toward the rider than even an Alba bar, and this is not what I want. With bar end brake levers and thumbshifters located inside the curves, I have a HUGE choice of hand positions !! From more upright to more "aero" for big headwinds .... (as if it really makes a difference at the end of the day ... lol).
A version with more rise would be a cool try, but nonetheless I love it as it is :) BTW ... I ran across a new-er version of Nitto's stem adapters for threadless stems ... the MTC-04 Long ! It's a cold forged 225mm long with a knurled mounting surface for the stem. I prefer using these to traditional stems as it is sooo simple to change stems and bars ! VO/Genetic makes a nice looking one also, as well as the regular length Nitto MTC-04 and slightly longer MTC-12.
