Tom, Congrats on the new-to-you-QB. it's always nice to see a matching green one finding a new home. My build is very similiar to yours with the Pauls brakes, dos eno fw. Mine came with moustache bars (the old style) which i really liked because they were aggressive and responsive. i swapped them out for albatross bars just to see the difference and never went back. i love the laid back position for cruising and the curves for out of the saddle climbing. with the moustache (and i would think drops) i always felt the need to 'go faster' with the alba it feels more relaxed and i ride more, enjoy it more. enjoy yours! i wish it wasn't so darn cold here so i could ride mine today!
