I have to put in a plug for the new revised moustache bars. They've quickly become my new favorite bar over drops or traditional moustache bars. I really like the wider grip and less reach over the old moustache bars. Mounted at saddle height, they're more comfortable on longer rides than riding in drops. Also, less need (for me) to use a shorter stem like traditional Mbars. Actually, they appear to be very closely shaped to inverted Alba bars, but for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I still prefer them over those as well. Oh yeah, they're great on a Hunqapillar, for off road climbs and descents. Too bad RIv is already out of stock on these, but I'm hoping they'll be restocked by next month. In the meantime, if anyone has a pair that didn't work out for them, hit me up off list!
