I started with Moustache bars on a Quickbeam a couple of years back and loved the combination. I've never really been a fan of drops, just never got comfortable, so the Moustache bars were great.
Then, while visiting the Bay Area last year after an Oregon coast ride (super), I went to Riv HQ (as I had on my previous Bay visit) and more or less fell in love with the Hunq. The demo I rode had Albas on them and oddly I can't say I was immediately impressed, but I ordered a Hunq with an Alba kit build figuring I'd give them a try and... When my Hunq arrived later last year I fiddled with positioning a bit and discovered I loved the Alba bars. In fact I liked them so much I ordered another set for my Quickbeam. Now I've got two bikes with Albas and think they are both super. The M-bars are going to Hilo one of these days where I have an RB-1 with drops that I'm just not happy with. I think the M-bars will fix that bike right up. The Albas give me great control in town as I'm 90% an urban rider logging 10-20 miles most days running around Honolulu. On weekends I do longer rides and camping trips and have no trouble climbing with the Albas or getting bit more aero on longer runs into the tradewinds. I have some Bosco bars around I was going to use on an old bike project but realized after I'd bought them that they'd come back a bit too far for the size of the frame (which is really a bit small for me but still okay with the parts I've used). I don't know exactly what I'll do with them - but they'll be used sooner or later.
