I have an Alba, and have used it off and on. I have used them to let me ride through a couple of periods when the only way I could pedal was bolt upright due to injury or infirmity. Once healed, I always wind up wanting to lean forward a bit more than the Alba's will allow, and I find the grips to be too close to parallel with the top tube. Right now I'm finding the On-One Mary to be a pretty good compromise - not as much pull back as an Alba, and a pretty natural grip angle that still lets me stand to climb when I need to. Standing with either Alba's or straight MTB bars never worked for me.
The Alba might be a better choice (for me, anyway) on a bike with too long a top tube to use anything else.
